Google packed the Pixel 9 Pro XL with a punch, as evidenced by its latest leaked specs.
The only update I’m interested in is the new ~6" display.
Why do OEMs copy every fucking stupid thing Apple does except the size of their devices?

Leaked
Fuckin advertised is the word you’re looking for
Least rounded corners on a modern phone.
Seriously, does anyone like this trend? It just makes the screen exponentially smaller.
I definitely don’t like it, I’m pretty sure exponentially doesn’t mean what this comment thinks it means though…
Maybe it’s logarithmic. IDK. I’m grumpy.
I don’t think you know what the word exponential means
I do
if you mean displays having rounded corners, I’m inclined to think about production cost, wastage, complexity, durability. Also tends to feature with front camera cutouts, under-display FP sensor.
I wish we didn’t go this route. Sony xperia phones still have a top and bottom bezel, the top accommodates the camera, a dedicated FP sensor etc.
shame you can’t use them with graphene, calyx, etc.
I have the 7a and even that amount of roubded corners pissed me off. I don’t know what I’m gonna do after this phone. At least I’ll get security updates for four more years.
I personally am ok with the rounded corners since it makes it more ergonomic to handle. Part of why I got rid of my s22 ultra was the corners bit into my palm whenever I held it with one hand.

For me, phones have been more than powerful enough for probably 5 years. I’m predominantly looking for battery life from my new phone, not more power. I think I’d happily use a Pixel 1 processor if it had double the battery life.

The odd bit here is that Pixel phones were not necessarily considered flagship phones. And accordingly we’re priced not as flagship phones but if rumors are correct they are trying to get a flagship phone price for non flagship phone.
