All the differences are lised in a single place to help make a more informed purchase decision
(do list any differences that I might've missed and I'll add it in the list)
Optical 5x Telephoto alone is the sole reason I'm upgrading
Yeah, me too. At this point, I don't think I could do without it. I find it so useful.
Same. I want bird photos
hmm, i didnt realize vapour chamber is in the Pro models only.
exactly why I made this list
many people including me get confused between all the reviews as to what exactly are the definitive differences
8. Is not true. No UFS 4.0 in pixel 9 series.
10. matte glass back with polished frame, looks better imo
11. bigger pre order promo
I'm an adult, so I based my decision entirely on the colors that were available.
I vote that polished rails is not an upgrade
lol
personal preferences
tho people like the matte back, god knows why google isn't just giving us an all matte phone
