It is kinda annoying when you’re in a rush and need something right there on the spot, but it says it has to update before you can use it, and then you’re there for what feels like an eternity.

I don’t care enough to warrant spending any little free time I have fucking about installing a different OS and with all the challenges it would come with.

Does it work out the box with Chromecast yet? I gave it a go a while ago and it seemed incredibly convoluted, where as Plex just works.

I doubt many places do.

I’ve no idea, it’s not something I’ve tinkered with since my Nexus 4. I’ll be honest, I just can’t be bothered with flashing custom ROMs to my phone these days, I haven’t got the time nor the energy. Cheers for the suggestion though :)

I’ve had my phone for over 6 years so I think I’ve probably done more than most on that front, and I’d love my next phone to last just as long which is why I’m skeptical about the battery on the Pixel 10. Seeing comments from people saying they’re upgrading from their Pixel 7 because the battery life isn’t great is a big red flag, that phone isn’t old.

If there were a 6.0" variant of the OnePlus 13 then I think I’d probably choose that.

What’s the difference?

It’s not getting OS updates, I’m stuck on Android 11, and the battery life isn’t what it used to be. Upgrading to a new phone would give me longer battery life that I’m getting now, but my phone for the first few years would comfortably get me well into a second day, where as I feel like the pixel 10 would last a day, but how long would it last after a few years? When these phones cost £800+ (my phone cost £500) it’s difficult to justify buying them.

I feel very underwhelmed. I think if it had a slightly bigger battery and fast charging then I’d likely pull the trigger on the 10, but it feels like a downgrade from my 6 year old phone that I’m running now.

Honestly no idea what phone I can upgrade to, I’ve been putting it off for a couple of years now.

I wish they’d create a 6" version. I’m looking to replace my 6T but I’m so underwhelmed by the choices out there. The Pixel 10 is at the top of my list but I’m not at all excited by it from what we know of it so far.

The feature where you can hold the phone comfortably in one hand and without having to do any gymnastics to reach the top corner.

My wife has an Apple watch and has to charge it every day. It would drive me absolutely nuts. There’s been times where it’s run out mid-workout or during a long walk. Meanwhile my Garmin Forerunner can go 2 weeks on a single charge.

I’m going to start looking for a new phone soon to replace my OnePlus 6T, and the 13 looks so good, except for the fact it’s absurdly huge. I wish the 13T was released globally!

I think the only other option is the pixel 9, but not sure about battery life and slower charging.

In the UK in 2023, it was about 2.5 per 100,00 people.

I’m still on 11. How much different is 11 to 15?

Interested by this. Need something to replace my OnePlus 6T that’s starting to show its age and would like something a bit smaller.

I’d have to imagine that the stress and emotional toll is significantly higher for a paediatric oncologist than a bus driver. There’s not so many people that could cope with that.

It might be worth trying to reduce the amount he naps - although I know it’s hard when it’s some time to have some peace and relax or do some chores!

Is he still napping in the day? We found dropping our daughters nap in the day helped make her bedtime much earlier - from like 11pm to 7 to 8pm.

We’re potting training our daughter (2) now and she’s instantly taken to it, we’ve barely had to do anything. We’ve just left her nappy off, left the potty in the room and she’s just taken to it right away, giving her lots of praise when she uses it. She poos and pees in it without us having to really tell her to do anything.

It’s a HUGE contrast to when we were potty training our son. It was an absolute nightmare and took years. He’d flat out refuse to acknowledge he needed a poo or had one in his nappy. At 3 he suddenly declared he didn’t want to wear his nappy anymore, which was fine, and he did start to use the potty for wee’s totally fine, but pooing was a different story. He’d end up holding it in for a week at a time, but kept dirtying his underwear, so we were changing his underwear about 8 to 10 times a day and constantly washing them, but he wouldn’t acknowledge he’d done it.
