the fact that such companies making their own term for already existing one which is already industry standard are both fooling the uninformed and outright irresponsible.

      ProudIndian, 16 Aug 2024Pixel 9 Pro/Pro XL phones sold in India have WiFi 6 instead... moreBlame that on Indian Govt and the (Ultra Pro Max greedy) Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman who will add GST to your farts if possible.

        How many people know what “Super Actua” means? Companies need to to stop using stυpid branding like “Super Retina Display” and stick to universally recognised terms.

          Check the "Source" in the article, they've corrected the error.

          And people still arguing about it. Smh 🤦‍♂️

            WiFi is a regulatory thing...

              They have already updated the Help page with correct info though if you read carefully, they still separate the IN, MY, SG display spec from GB and US one even though the edited specs now are the same. Google perhaps was using its "advanced" Gemini to alter the page before. Big companies like Google doing this silly little mistake, how to fight against Apple & Samsung on hardware side of thing?!

Never mind that it is not even a flagship phone with top end middle class performance. Xiaomi 14 also is not a compact phone. It's just smaller phone then other phones.

                  Pixel phones have always being over 150mm tall with something like 5.9-6.2inch screens.
                  Also why do i need to show examples that are Chinese ? Samsung S standard S class phones are more smaller in size with 6.1-6.2inch screen as around 147mm tall. Also there was Asus Zenfone 9 that is around same size as the Pixel phones and also give a lot better specs.

                  Samsung also give 7 years of OS support so how is pixel more advanced with their stock no unique android better ? It's basically like you buy a brand car and it comes with Dacia features like roll up no electric windows and so on

                    I don't really understand the need for hardware segregations like this. Smartphones used to be easy to understand, even with two or three variants across the lineup.

                        No WiFi 7 in Malaysia/Singapore is understandable as it's a technology that's still underdeveloped there because it is just made available on certain telco. I could even say WiFi 6 is also underdeveloped in other ways so it's a reasonable choice... but no LTPO when other region gets it? Google... what are you doing?

                                Pixel 9 Pro/Pro XL phones sold in India have WiFi 6 instead of WiFi7 and Actua displays instead of LTPO displays that phones in the rest of the world are sold with. And to add insult to injury, these phones are sold for the highest price in India as compared to anywhere in the world (over $200 more than the prices in the US).

                                Indians should vote with it's wallet, completely ignore this phone (or purchase from another country, if possible) and show Google what they deserve!

                                  Rescind this article and stop spreading misinformation. The site has already been updated to reflect Super Actua LTPO for the three regions.

                                    Pumpino, 15 Aug 2024You prefer Chinese brands with better chips and faster char... moreYeah i prefer China brands over American brands that dont rip us over so hard. How is Android inferior to Android ??? Well chance to get more updates is slim on Chinese brand phones but how does that make the google phone Android more advanced ?

                                    Also what about phone cameras ? I dont understand this point. My Poco F5 have already good enough camera for everything i need out of camera on a phone. I am not a photographer and hardly ever use camera on my phone so what i need this one pixel better quality that i need to look with 1000 times zoom in trough photoshop ? Never mind that all phones cameras dont hold even a candle to real cameras with quality.
                                    Stuck with one size ?

                                    Pixel 9 vs Xiaomi 14 where the phone size is pretty much same even tough Xiaomi 14 have better cameras, better screen and lots of other features with 100 euro less in price

                                      I know Google is obsessed with cost cutting but differentiation of display types between countries is next level d*mb

                                        What google can do best in this case is price it much much lower. If not...🪓⚰️
