The solution to the fingerprint issue is to add your fingerprint a bunch of times and it works much better. I added my thumbprint 4 times and now it works well

Trying to make sense to why Google Fi can offer $500 discount on a Samsung phone, but only $200 off a device made by Google.

Welcome to Google. The strategy is made by someone who has a Harvard degree and sure enough I don't understand either

Your mind is a tangled mess. When has Google sold a Samsung phone on Fi? NEVER.

Fi always sells Google-branded phones. The phone could have been made by Samsung, but they'll make sure to remove everything that has Samsung in it (e.g. Knox, UI, etc) because they want the user to have the "Google experience" so the user will never buy a Samsung phone.

This is also why phone manufacturer never sells a "Pure Android" phone without anything on top. They want the phone experience to be unique to their brand to create loyalty. Any premium discounts will always come from a different manufacturer because they represent a new loyalty-- iPhone to Samsung, Samsung to Google, etc.
You really think Samsung lets competitors screw with their software? Lol

You like the fingerprint sensor? The one on my a71 is trash and has me thinking 5a as I've liked my 3a.

I can appreciate Google undercutting flashship prices when it first launched, but with all the bad press post launch I can't help but wonder what their thought process has been.

At this point might as well wait for the 6a & hope Google releases a phone that works post launch.

There used to be a lot of problems, but it has been fixed with updates. Now the only problem is the fingerprint scanning. The scanning takes forever compared to other phones.
Agreed. Have been using Pixel 6 for several months. The fingerprint scanner is awful.

S22 unless you hate Samsung software. I just got the Pixel 6 on the last deal and I'm tempted to go through the hassle of returning for this. The fingerprint sensor is a little slow as others mentioned, and compared to the mid range OnePlus phones the battery life is disappointing.

It's crazy that new cars are regularly 30% over MSRP right now, but you can get a near-flagship phone for half off.

ikr. looking to buy a new suv, but prices on the Mazda CX-5 and CX-50 are like 2k over msrp.

my P6P does take a long time sometimes...overall still love the phone...the pics from it are awesome. I do hope the P7 will have a fingerprint button in the back like my old P3a. Would do a trade-in of it for P7 if that happens assuming a P7 trade-in promo does happen when it is released.

my guess would be that Samsung discount may be partially paid by Samsung itself since many carriers have been running Samsung discounts

$399 Pixel 6 with how things are going is still too high for me, so I'm passing this time around
Having a 5a would be reason enough.

Some dealers still willing to haggle if car is actually on the lot. After going to a half dozen different dealers, Mazda dealer by my parents was willing to negotiate because they had 3 Carbon edition CX-5s on the lot.

Managed to pay slightly under sticker after tag/tax/title. In this market that's a win.

This helps, and also not having dry skin. I wash my hands about 20 times per day, and my fingerprints are basically cracked. Once I put on lotion, it's all good. It's definitely the third worst part of the phone. I'd say the second is the blurring of the background in portrait mode - the algorithm is terrible. The number one major issue is the cell modem. I can have the 5G/5G UC (T-Mobile) badge and still have zero connection. It's absurd. It's not the network either. I've stood next to people with Samsung, Apple, and even LG devices on the same network, and they have full 5G speeds.

Performance for games had been good (although I don't really play high frame-rate games), and for those who miss unlimited storage of photos from previous Pixel models, if you have Amazon Prime, use their photo storage. As a lifelong Android fanboy, I actually am thinking of switching my whole life to Apple since their tablets are unbeatable, their CPU tech is now superior, and interconnectivity is seamless. I just really, really, really dislike the walled garden.... But if you can't beat 'em...

Has anyone tried porting in a Boost mobile number with their $1 trial? Wondering if that they allow it. Thanks

I'm on the fence between a Pixel 6 and an S22. Most people seem to only really complain about the slow/inaccurate fingerprint sensor. But every now and then someone brings up the connectivity issues. How prevalent is this? I really like the Pixel line especially for photos and additional Google software, like Call Screening and Live Translation. But connectivity is crucial for me for both voice and data. How often do you have issues with poor/no signal?

Samsung's hardware just looks so much better on paper (even though their photos still lags a little behind) but I'm so iffy on their software. It annoys me when my wife hands me her S20FE to find something on her phone or change a setting.
