While it pains me to say, because I think on general principle they should be a thing to prevent unnecessary e-waste, replacement batteries aren't always everything they're cracked up to be. In most cases your phone will be years old by the time you need one, and sourcing a new battery of the same quality as the original can be surprisingly difficult. A few years ago I had a galaxy S4 with a shot battery, so I shopped around and ended up paying pretty good money for a legit Samsung brand replacement (particularly so that it had NFC) from a certified reseller with good reviews. Unfortunately, it turned out that while the original was made in Korea, Samsung made this replacement in China and it was of drastically inferior quality. Within 6 months of normal use it had substantially less battery life and had begun physically bloating. I think if getting a good replacement battery is that difficult for a phone as common as the S4, I doubt I would bother even if I had the option and just buy a new phone in 3 years or so when the original starts going.
Have you considered installing GCam on your ROG Phone? 99% of the Pixel's camera is software, and there's a large community that ports the Pixel camera app to other devices.
Yes to this. A while back I had an LG V20, which had a fairly good camera, and my friend had an original Pixel, which notably lacked any optical image stabilization, while my V20 did have optical stabilization. With the ported pixel HDR google camera app, I could take FAR better low light photos due to the stabilization than my friend could on the pixel.
Philip I met you at the Faceit Major 2018 and spoke to you about your Pixel XL, unfortunately I never managed to find you again that weekend. But this video is kinda like a follow up to that conversation we had. It probably doesn't mean much to you, but I guess it feels like an interesting coincidence
I had a HTC desire hd from like 2012 and it had a little side cover purely for removing the battery, which would just slide in and out even easier than replacing an AA in the remote... damn good phone
hey I moderate the /r/GooglePixel subreddit, fun to see that you are a Pixel fan! I was in the same spot as you and ended up getting a great deal on a used Pixel 4 XL. Good battery life, great camera, and the high end specs to back it up
Is it weird that I can't even imagine you using a smart phone? I guess with how often I remember you talking about old games, and your past, at most I see you using a flip phone.
@@raph2954 How is it rude? Honestly, Philip is one of these youtubers that sort of make you relax and somehow teleport back a few years ago. I was surprised Philip would use top of the line smartphones myself.
i'm glad you talked only about the subject and not about 5 minutes with phil overall, even though i get it was necessary before. this feels like the first real episode
Everyone can relate to the feeling of having a shitty phone that you can just barely put up with and then when you buy a new one it's like a whole freight train of frustration is lifted from your shoulders.
Ah, another episode with the surprisingly intriguing music in the background. How nice. Also, 5 minutes, and seconds... I see. Wonder what time you'll be going for next.
You can unofficially get the pixel's camera app on other phones and since most of the advantages the pixel has is in software you can sort of get the best of both worlds.
Oh my, Phil′s gonna be so happy when he hears about Gcam ports. As a Samsung user with a midrange phone with Exynos processor, that's one treat I can't get my hands on
i still have a samsung phone from 2015. it works fine, feels great, and has a removable battery (i know, next gen stuff). it is a bit slow, and is lacking storage space. But i hate the thought of spending a hundred or so euros to replace something that still works. I even dropped it in water once, and despite it not being water rated, it still works. I got it used for 60 euro and will run it into the ground.
I find myself vastly more interested in this series after you've stopped branding it in the title and stopped numbering it. It now feels like I can just go ahead and watch the new video, without needing to go back and watch the prior 6. I'm sure I'll enjoy this now!
smartest man alive (totally opposite) would tell you to buy to a actual camera if you want to take photos, but then you'd can go ramble with him about how a phone has more use than a bloody camera if i want to do more than just take pictures of a rock
As someone currently rocking an iPhone with a broken front camera that forces me to use the shitty front camera to take pics of my dogs but doesn't want to upgrade because this phone is 256 gigs, I felt this
Remember when a phones camera going double digit was fancy ? yeah. We have become so accustomed to all of those old tools and devices being shoved into a single thing that fits in our pockets that we are beginning to expect too much.
love these videos! the quality is indistinguishable from a usual CS:GO or other “gaming” video, because like those, these videos aren’t about counter-strike, and rarely just a extension of the title, it’s your views and opinions on anything and everything. this is the type of content i see and think, “i genuinely hope he loves making these types of videos”, because they seem fun, easier to make relative to 3kliks content, yet with the exact same appeal in my opinion. you never make a video “about” something, you document your own experience with it, often with raw thoughts and unanswered questions, which conveys a sense of authenticity and familiarity. i don’t care what the thumbnail or title is for these videos, i see them and know i’m getting a honest, insightful view on a topic that even if i would’ve never found interesting, i do because your method of presenting ideas with such authenticity and originality is really impressive, and these videos are exactly what i wish more of youtube embodied. do what you love, period, never settle for anything, and know your content is always going to be your own and something no one else can make. much love.
I think this series would be alot more intriguing if there was something to feast my eyes upon. I have a goopy goblin brain and i need to colours change
This series is great because it helps me remember portions of my brain I've let lie dormant and re-explore them. We could all do better to explore our opinions, memories and ideas more, I think. Go write something down, record a voice note or talk to someone. It could be fun :D
I used a Oneplus 7 Pro for a few years and it was probably one of the best phone's I've ever used. It doesn't have as good a battery life as your current phone, but it's very fast and has a really nice camera. It's gotten pretty cheap on the secondhand market. I'm currently using an iPhone SE because it matches with my needs for a phone, it's the first Apple product I've ever owned so it's been weird but fun. Not for everyone, but I don't need a phone for that much and it gives a good experience for what I use it for. Surprisingly, it has faster music decoding on its CPU than my Oneplus 7 Pro by a long shot, for such a cheap price lol.
But everyone doesn't need that good of a waterproofing. Also it shouldn't be that hard to replace the water resistance coating. The Samsung galaxy s5 was waterproof and had a removable back plate.
Nope, there were some phones back then with removable batteries and water proofing. One of my brother's Samsung "rugged" phone (it just had some extra plastic and rubber caps for the ports) and it had a little turning lock on the back side, which in closed state held the back panel tight to the phone, and making it water proof. And with this when you wanted to replace the battery or SD card/SIM you just turned the wheel and the back just simply came off.
i never actually paid attention about phone battery, but now i got myself mi 10t lite with almost 5000 mAh and ability to fast charge, im super happy with the amount of battery life i get from it. in light use i can easily get 2 days of usage. and when battery is low, i can charge it to 100% in about half of hour. amazing
There´s an app in the f-droid store called AccA, which has a bunch of features to extend the battery life. It´s not very user friendly since you have to go the secound tab 'profile' and edit everything there, but it has a nice set of features. They´re pretty much self explanatory. The only tip I can give is to set the max voltage to 4,050 mV. The app does require root access. It´s probably aware in other appstores like the play store as well.
Damn, was hoping you saw the light and joined ‘Apple sucks and I wish I had more battery but hey the phone is otherwise pretty nice and functional iPhone gang’
I had the same situation. Wanted to buy a Samsung Galaxy a51 because I had an excellent Samsung Galaxy a5 2016 before. But then I saw a guy in the store being consulted by an employee. The customer was dreaming of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro and the employee told him, it has the best price-performance ratio. In the end I bought that Xiaomi after ambitiously researching every single detail of it. It was the best choice and I totally agree, having a lasting battery again is a great feeling.
I had the Pixel (non-XL) used too and experienced the same struggle. Though I read at some Google support site that I ccould send that phone in and get a registered dealer to change the battery for about 100€. Maybe that's a service they're obliged to offer here in Germany. Nonetheless I got the Pixel 3a for an unbeatable price and I was blown away by its battery lasting me over 8 hours of screen on time. At least for the first 6 months. I'm now over a year in and I still manage to get over 5 to 6 hours of screen on time including at least an hour of UA-cam time. And, to sum it all up, it's got the sweet, sweet Pixel camera magic inside...
Well i was expecting some sort of Nokia "flip" phone, especially when you started talking about battery life. Ngl though, what you showed seems like qual product that i may find useful in my next phone research.
The beauty of google's phones is the great software support. The camera sensor is nothing impressive at all, just just good camera software that do the trick for you. Gaming phones get some massive 40 + pixel camera, but they lack the software to processes the image.

@@kliksphilip Well, that's even better I think, tho personally I charged my phone every night for almost 3 years and I didn't have a single problem with it. It's a Xiaomi Mi A2.
Hello Phillip, did you come across the Fairphone during your search for a new phone? Its not that cheap but they do have swappable batteries. Its designed for repairability so using your hardware for as long as possible dosn't have to be a 'limping along'. If you did come across it, what made you NOT choose it?
The new title format is really good.
