Comment on Google’s Pixel 9 lineup is a Pro show
kirk781@discuss.tchncs.de 5 weeks agoThey missed out on many things too. While the Pixel Pro has an LTPO display, the base model doesn’t. They only ship with UFS 3.1 storage despite UFS 4.0 being available. Charger is still not bundled.
Heck, give anything except for AI.(144Hz screen anyone? Motorola has them). I never used Assistant and after trying Gemini out for some time, disabled it as well.

All else aside, what the heck do you need to waste battery power for on a 144hz phone screen? There’s no reason. Heck, I have a 120hz screen and turned it down to 60.

I just meant, that having a higher powered refresh rate screen that can easily be toggled on/off is more refreshing than more on device AI, IMO.

The ai stuff you can do with pictures on the pixel 9 is actually pretty nifty. I could see using that a lot more than a high refresh rate.

I have a noob question, is backporting any of these camera features possible for Google to older Pixel phones or is there a technical limitation?
I do agree about diminishing returns on high refresh rates. I have my current phone turned to 120 Hz and it gobbles up battery quite much.
