My PebbleBee tags are arriving today!
Oh no, not exynos, we all know how reliable and lovely those are, 😅, I’m kidding no shade to samsung trying to improve its chipsets
I like that tracker with the USB-C.
Samsung will probably rebrand the Exynos chips for Pixel phones rebranded as Tensor G4 and up 😏
I'm still rocking my pixel 6 pro. I'll hopefully upgrade to the pixel 9 when it comes out. I don't really have any complaints about this phone. It's one of the best phones I've ever had
What I don't understand about the management of Samsung is that they've gone through this yo-yo of snapdragon and exynos processes for the last few years, when will they learn, no one likes exynos.
Me watching this on my A55 12GB.🌝
I will never buy a Samsung phone again.
Why?
What you you get as a alternative?
@KidGreeD14 bloatware, stupid software decisions, battery, and camera software, to name a few. Going back to Huawei even with the painful hacking of Google play services.
@@EmilSaks yeah makes sense. I didn't know my camera was shot until I use a iPhone. I don't understand why it delays when you take a pic. Idk what phone to go to though.

🤔 On Android - kzread.info/dash/bejne/mKWiyZOjlcrSYLg.htmlsi=2l-CfbPKCSk9In9T
What about Tile?
Tille's ecosystem is very small. The only pings you will get from a tracker. Some somebody else who has the tile app installed on their phone, so it's not the same kind of comparison.
@@mrj.juneau you're right. I didn't get that they aren't offering (yet?) compatibility with the Find My network of Android. Hope they will. Competition is what makes Android a much nicer option than Apple (for me at least)
@BriefNerdOriginal Agreed. I hope more companies will make a device for the network. But if they don't, I'm sure they will be left behind. My problem is from what I understand is if you have A tracker for tile, it's not compatible with the new network. They'll probably have to make another tile, That's compatible with the network which will annoy me too cause, I have quite a few tile trackers already. And would rather just switch them over.
Android 15 beta only, not available to Android 14 as of 6/17/2024
S23 - 5 vs. S21 - 0
Link?
*I see you have yucky yellow/fake gold Samsung Ring on finger - tell people about it - do you have to sell "successful review" to Samsung to get one free like you?*
This thread is a reminder of the importance of women's voices in shaping the future.🍭

We are with you 🍓🌺

You'll get over them. I tried many of them and each of them failed when I needed them and what their job is. The battery will always fail at the wrong time.
Pixel 2. It does everything you could've wanted....excellent charging speed, stunning camera, ease of use, finger print activation - even six years on, i'm still using it!
The fact Apple will allow Siri to be renamed is something I have been waiting for forever on android / google home. God, let there be light!
I will not switch to using these until Google changes the Find My Network to be an "opt out" network instead of the way they launched it as an "opt in" network! Making it so that every android user must manually opt in to the network makes it borderline useless since most people will not do so. Tracking of these devices should be automatically enabled on all android devices like it is on iPhones.
not a big deal!! not even a deal!!
Who even want that??!!!
Crying with my Pixel 7 Pro 😢 It's still considered new to me. If was promised AI features with the G2 chip. Yet all I see is Pixel 8 this and Pixel 8 Pro that. It really hurts me that features that get announced get cut from the previous generation Pixel devices. I haven't received any new software updates for my Pixel 7 Pro as of this writing. Not even a security update for June. It's literally June 17th. 🤦♂️
Typical Goole they choose the middle middle & less useful location option, the default should be in High areas gblet users change that if they want otherwise the Find my device network is way less useful for the majority of us they would misplace items in non HIGH traffic areas.
Thanks for actually using them for a week before the review, way better the people who used them for like two hours then rush out a review to be first. You should do a follow up in like 1 month and 6 months to see how it is as more phones get the find my device updates. I'm on a pixel 7 pro and I barely got it, and you know how slow people with locked phones updates can be through carriers, which is most people here in the U.S. at least.
Does it help with replacement costs like Tile tracker if you lose your items?
reupload?
Don't rechargeable battery have less idle time? ie need to charge it often vs replace battery after a year or so?
About usb-c rechargeable vs battery cell replaceable, wouldn't the second one be more convenient since the battery won't deteriorate over time with charges?
For the tag itself, I totally agree. I don't see a problem with replacing a battery every year or so. But for the card I like having the idea of recharging it when I need because the other one doesn't have a replaceable battery.... As for the degradation of the battery at Multiple charges. It would take 100+ charges before there would be a degradation. Due to charging. The website says it'll last eight months in between charges, even if we bring that down to four months. We're talking many many years Before the battery would degrade because of the multiple charges. It'll probably be obsolete by that time anyway.
No ultra wide band is a move to include any android phone including cheap ones without UWB. Google's in house tracker will likely have UWB and be released in the next year.
I hope "Grogu" materialises. It's why I'm holding out on buying any trackers just yet
Is it just me or does that Pixel Watch that the presenter is wearing look like the Pixel Watch 3 XL??
It does to me as well , looks a lot larger than my Pixel watch 2
No Ultra wide band is kinda silly. Samsung tag is something id trust more. Plus Samsung is more likely to stay around long term. These 2 new brands i can see fizzling out in a few years
Different purposes
2024...¿
All In hear is Chipotle every time you say the tracker’s brand😂
Thank you for these excellent videos. Do you think the Android are take would be suitable to use as a vehicle tracker? For example something like LoJack please let me know your thoughts, thank you.
I have had chipolo trackers for a couple of years... will the old models work on Find my network or do we need to buy new ones?
You'll need a new one
Interesting. I'll definitely be sticking with the Samsung one. I dont see any real benefits to these
The network is exponentially bigger. Higher chance of finding your device
1:34 that's dope as hell
You don't need that, just put intelligent optimization to minimum in camera settings. Or enable burst shot.
2:24 The A15 and A25 have no Gorilla Glass at all.
I bought this phone and unfortunately it has a lot of things you don't know beforehand: 1) impossible to take photos at 50 mpx by default! You have to go to the photo menu every time, and in the "plus" tab choose 50 mpx. It's just nonsense! 2) You can't use the zoom lever on the professional kit if you choose the 'raw' photo format. This is really very disappointing for a camera of this price that claims to be "professional"!
This phone was the best phone in my opinion I miss this phone
None of the phones on the list will be good on the long road after the next Android update will start to work harder and harder. Better save and buy a flagship for example S24
In other words is the Google midrange phones
I don't know but you're an isheep 😂 I don't care about it and I don't subscribe to Android Authority to hear about apple
The windows in your video are overexposed
did you just use the magnetic necklace/medallion when you rode the roler coaster? i'm afraid it will fall off on the high-G turns
A25 has always on display as well
