    C'mon, just add another 50€ and get yourself the watch 6 instead of the FE,

    Literally, the FE is worse even in comparison to the Watch 4, and my god, the absolute dogsh.... battery

    The W6C barely lasts 2 days with 425mAh, I can only imagine how much worse FE's 247mAh can be. Idk, maybe it gets balanced by the smaller screen and slightly weaker insides?

The improvements don’t quite justify the high price, and the base storage being stuck at 128GB is a bummer. The new fingerprint sensor and bigger battery are nice, but overall, it feels like we're not getting much bang for our buck. Definitely feels like it’s better to hold off and see how things shake out...

          Good job.
          Like anyone is interested in below average midranger with a price of a premium flagship.
          Google is really making fools out of people.

            A bit tired of Pixel's to be honest.
            Overpriced as hell.
            G4 is downclocked for better battery life and basically midrange chip and that is why we can't see any benchmark score of it.
            Camera's were stong selling point for Pixel phones in the early days but not anymore.
            Charging speeds....i'll stop there.
            Google should look up to OP 12 for example, phone that is on par or even better than anything Pixel has to offer. Now compare the prices.
            Don't get me started with Xiaomi 14, far superior phone compared to 9 pro.
            Even my Realme GT 6 is on par with these wannabe flagships minus the 3x zoom on Pro and Pro xl.

The Pixel 8 Pro's ultrawide was definitely a better setup, with a more balanced f/1.95 on a larger sensor. Downgrading the sensor just to then have a brighter aperture to match the old setup isn't great when it leads to blurriness problems.

              Besides the ultrawide, the selfie camera's wider 17mm focal length is problematic, distorting your face even more than 20mm (which I personally find to be good for certain pictures but distorts my face too much in other pictures). The 17mm focal length also causes an issue with light-gathering capabilities, where despite using a large 1/2.55"-type sensor, it's barely any better due to the optics required reducing the amount of light it can gather. Also, the optics of the telephoto is still disappointing.

              Besides all this, there's the new ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, which is great; the marginally brighter screens; a smaller Pro variant that also has a very large battery for its size, which again is great; and the terrible new aesthetics and design. Overall, why pay even more money for almost nothing new, especially when the base storage is still 128GB of UFS 3.1?

                Honestly, I think Google is really stepping it up with these new Pixels. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold sounds cool with its bigger display and that 20:9 aspect ratio....finally something more practical. But man, that price tag feels kinda steep. I get it, the upgrades are solid, especially with the cameras and the new Tensor G4 chip, but I’m not sure if it’s worth all that cash. I guess it’s great for people who really want to go head-to-head with Samsung and Apple, but for me, I’m still on the fence.
