Wonder if they’ll use a rigid OLED panel like they did on the 7a and 8a. Dylan Raga wrote an excellent piece reviewing the Pixel 8’s display where he said they’d finally switched to a flexible OLED panel on the regular model.
My og OnePlus Nord is still going strong with Lineage, but if it fails at some point, I feel that the Pixel a phones are kinda the best on offer at the moment, with the long update support, the hardware, the price, and the possibility to throw Graphene on there.
Never really saw the point in flagships after mid-rangers started becoming pretty good.
I dont care about screens at all… low refresh rate, low energy consumption, very dark lowest brightness, small.
I really hope it has an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor…
I doubt that the 8a will get a better fingerprint sensor than the 8 or 8 Pro
It probably won’t because it would be much superior than whatever crap Google has in their flagship line. Big G won’t like it if their budget phone is actually better at things than their top of the line model. If it changes, then expect it to change in the main series first.
They seem to be pushing their display port output for the desktop mode, are there any news regarding that ?
Why does a flexible display matter in a rigid device? It’s not folding so what difference does it make? In other news I’m thinking about updating my 7 since the charging port is not making solid connections anymore. It’s on my car mount sideways all day every day as a trucker.
Flexible OLED panels have smaller bezels, better viewing angles and are less prone to exhibiting a rainbow effect. You can check Dylan Raga’s review of the Pixel 6, 7 and 8 to see why the 8’s display is an upgrade over the 6 and 7.
Bezels are good though. I like being able to hold my phone and not use the touch screen accidentally.
Ya, kinda tired of hitting the edges of my samsung, and their accidental edge touch protection’s kinda useless.
