Is it me or is the Pixel 9 hype very low? I feel like nobody is expecting much from it
Well, of course, google leaks everything months before so nobody cares now. Plus the google io was a big fiasco talking 2 hours about AI, completed skipped android 15 which is a pretty incremental release. As a result, everyone expects the same from this event too. Meaningless ai everywhere
Thank you for your comment, didn't even follow the Google IO
I always watch it because of the android releases (phone, watch etc) but this year's was such a big letdown. It ruined my day
What's the hype going to be about? All phones are just black rectangular prisms now. The camera will be a little better, the battery life a little better, the processor slightly faster... But there's no huge leap in functionality and form factors aren't taking risks any more.
It's previous phone release + .1
I don't think I've seen any hype for any new phone releases for a while. And that's OK, the technology has matured a lot so there isn't that much to get hyped about anymore. The foldable phones are pretty cool, hoping that they become affordable in the next decade!
I haven't seen a foldable phone that doesn't have an ugly crease in the screen after a while.
Well then I hope they sort that out in the next decade too
No big features. Satellite emergency is nice, but that's it. Everything else is just a slow iteration on the last version. So it's fine, but nobody will upgrade early for it.
Same old slow chipset, ugly design (personally), software locked features rather than hardware limits
For myself, I have an 8Pro, so I'm in general not all that interested until at least the 10 and then knowing it would just be a one-upsmanship of AI bullshit really made me not pay attention to its release at all :-\
