       I broke the screen on my #Google #Pixel7pro recently and decided to buy a #Pixel10ProXL. The #Pixel10 was delivered yesterday.Today on the way home, hours before holding the 10, I wanted to take a photo on the 7. For the first time in THREE YEARS it focused in and out to find the focus. For three years, the camera on the 7 has relied on the utterly broken single-dot time-of-flight sensor instead of sharpness like everyone else. (Apple has decent multi-point. That also works)#pixel

       Literally on the day I have the replacement in hand, they fix my longest-standing gripe with the Pixel 7. You can't make this shit up

       So the #Pixel10 can enter battery saving mode at anything from 20% to 75%. It also offers to switch off battery saver when charge reaches 90%. And if you enable battery protection, it stops charging at 80%.We'll see what happens. But.. people are getting paid to build this UX!#Pixel

       The #Pixel10 camera has manual focus!!! I wanted this in the #Pixel7 for the years. Just looked at the Pixel 7 which also got the ~900 MiB Pixel camera update.Still no manual focus, because fuck you, that's why

       The box the #Pixel10 was shipped in had a "welcome to team pixel" card in it. Upside down relative to all the print inside the shipping box, and bent in a cornerThen some creased packing paper, and the actual box just tossed in there rattling around looseA huge and ugly sticker over the whole box with EU mandated information. They only had a year or two to prepare after allAnd then the #Pixel10ProXL is in its box face downA 1299€ device and the unpacking experience is sloppy and shit

       Do I need fancy unboxing? Very much not. Yet I recognize if care was taken, or not.@GrapheneOS keeps talking about an OEM hopefully working with them in a year or two. I hope we start seeing alternatives to Pixels.
