Google wants to be an apple (closed), own hardware and operating system but you pay the price

As a Pixel user for many years, I won't buy new Pixels anymore. Such a average chipset for such a price. And cinematic mode, action mode, slow-mo capped at 1080p, no improvements in portrait mode. So behind the competition, but price like them. 🤦

It's missing LTE band 20 which is an important band in many countries and especially in rural areas within those countries e.g. The UK, Spain, Germany, Russia. As I stated this is region dependent so whilst it may not be relevant for 'you' there are readers from many different countries on this website

Literally no one cares about "gaming phones" and OEMs stopped making them a long time ago. However #TeamPixel is becoming popular at an incredible rate. The same cannot be said for ZTE.

Aierlan, 23 Aug 2024It depends. If buying the global x100 pro it's going ... moreidrc about the price difference. The X100 Pro is global and has some features which I'd like so it makes up for the higher cost in a way. Besides, the main reason I think the X100 Pro is superior is cus of the battery, it's better and charges faster. Even if you save up and get the chinese one, the X100 Pro is still a better value yk? If the X100 Ultra had variable aperture, only then would it have been a better product. The X100 Pro is too good. Rumors say the X200 Pro might have a nerfed 1/1.28" sensor, that'd be sad.
Oh btw I checked the bands in Trading Shenzhen and the phone easily supports all the bands of my country. So the band argument doesn't work in favor of the X100 Ultra either. Back in the day Mediatek was super bad and now they're at the very least on par and sometimes they also beat Qualcomm. So it's an even better W for the X100 Pro in a way.
Oh and the X100 Pro global version costed like the same as an S24+ near where I live, even more Ws for it

jiyen235, 22 Aug 2024The X100 Ultra is NOT worth it. Very small changes compared... moreIt depends. If buying the global x100 pro it's going to be more expensive than the x100 ultra as that only has a Chinese model. However, if you buy the Chinese x100 pro or x100s pro they are certainly cheaper than the x100 ultra but they are missing a lot of bands present on the x100 ultra so it depends on where you live and if these bands are relevant to you. For example the Chinese x100 pro and x100s pro lack some key European bands e.g. band 20. The x100 ultra comes with all key bands for regions like Europe so basically I think it depends on where you live and which version of the x100 pro you are getting

I have a friend who owns a foldable screen phone and also has a Nubia Red Magic reserved for mobile gaming and console emulation, and nothing else. He used to have an ROG Phone but wasn't impressed with the latest 8th-generation release.

I'm still not sure if this is a worthy upgrade over the Pixel 8 Pro. Even the photos doesn't look much different between the two. I may as well just stick with the Pixel 8 Pro until Google brings in a new camera hardware.

"Unfortunately, we are not able to provide you with benchmark scores at this time as the benchmark apps we use were reported as "incompatible" on the Play Store and sideloading them got us results which were way to low (lower than Pixel 8 Pro, for instance) to be considered as representative. Let's hope the limitations are lifted later down the line and we are able to offer you proper benchmark scores."
I'm not saying that Google hide their performance on purpose but... I am saying that Google hide their performance on purpose. They have released a phone that is still in development. That's why they don't want any benchmarks to be shown. I don't trust any of the battery and whatever performance tests as well. This is clearly an unfinished product pushed for launch early.

I find it weird for someone to have enough cash to purchase a gaming ZTE device---then decides to buy a pixel phone.
It still a preference though.
All I can think of is helping that guy if I know someone plans to do that.
