Reasons not to buy Google Pixel in India

Well about 2 years back I write a blog for reasons to buy a google pixel in India [check that here] but as I've used the device over the years I get to know somethings that make the device just unbearable. I'll break them down to certain points for easy understanding.

Let me make this perfectly clear here and now I proudly own a pixel 4a and still using it and loved every minute but I believe people of India needs to know somethings about pixel phone before they actually buys the device. So, Lets get into this

1. Price: Google Pixel phones are known for their high price points, which may be considered excessive when compared to other smartphones available in the Indian market. Even though the pixel ‘a’ series is considered as a budget segment but still for some people they aren't really be considered as budget.

2. Limited availability: Google Pixel phones are not widely available in India, making it difficult for some consumers to purchase them. Most of the time the phone is not available on the online websites. And the availability in offline market is very limited to very few stores.

Google Pixel availability is at very specific places

3. No expandable storage: Google Pixel phones do not have a microSD card slot for expandable storage, which may be a deal breaker for some users. To be quite honest iPhones does the same thing and people don’t really have a problem with it so I don’t think it is going to be a deal breaking point but still for some obvious reasons if they put a SD card slot I love to have it.

There is no storage variant only 128 GB is available

4. Lack of support for Indian bands: Some Google Pixel models may not support all of the Indian cellular bands, which could lead to connectivity issues for some users. Well I don’t face any problem what so ever but I read some online articles people do face some problems. But later, they fixed with the updates, I think.

5. Limited after-sales service: Google may not have an extensive after-sales service network in India, which could make it difficult for users to get their phones repaired or serviced if they experience any issues. To be honest when I first get to know about this it is quite sad as when anyone buy a Google devices they must be expect the great after sales service similar to apple which is quite popular in India. If a person need some after sales support it can only be done via third party and the repair only be done in Mumbai I think. So, if a person lives not in Mumbai, they need to send the device through courier so basically it may take months or few weeks it quite depends on but that is not what a person buys a device for or expect this kind of after sales service.

No official service center in India.

To be honest these are only some points that I can think of there are lot others as well like there is very limited to no customization. When I first heard about android 13 update I though it will completely change the customization for the phone but after the update only limited things I can see.

Conclusion

I can’t say these are the points applied to everyone but these are some points that change the decisions to most of the people look as a consumer I always look for these points. I’m extremely upset with the after sales service if I ever need the to be repaired but that is not happen yet and I want to keep it that way. And another thing I want to add is I love the google chat support like if you are facing any kind of trouble google application just go to the chat support and they’ll actually help you which seems nice for a company who don’t provide after sales service to its customer

Reasons to switch to Google Pixel in India

Well for the starting not many google pixel devices are available and also there are many problems that are come with pixel and I'll explained them in this blog. Most of people didn't really care about pixel in India but with this blog I make sure they think about their choices again. So, let's get back to the topic and lets begin with reasons to switch to pixel

1. A best overall device

Well I purchased the google pixel thinking it'll solve all my problem but its kind of opposite but there are perks too as the device even has its problem but still manage to give best out a mid range device. Its the best overall device. Like its performance, price and camera and other things are totally worth it. Ever there is very low availability of pixel devices in market I still able to buy the device (I'll give my honest review of pixel 4a in another blog). 

2. The Google OS

Well I love the stock android I really do. From last 10 years or so i repeatedly using Motorola devices just because of stock android experience but every time I compare my phone with any phone I keep asking question why have I purchased this piece of crap. So google OS not only complement the pixel device hardware but also maintains the performance every time I use my phone. The Operating System is just amazing. This is the perfect OS for any android device even without customizations the OS really great and with Android 12 update and android 12L(beta) ready to use in early 2022.

3. Updates and Pixel feature drop

Well this is the things which only for pixel devices well the updates either security or android get really fast and on priority basis. And pixel feature drops are nothing but randomly google drop features for pixel devices only.as people already know not many companies really care about the timings of update. The pixel update are really at time at most I get update on my pixel till 5th or  day of every month.

4. the just amazing Camera

I'm not gonna tell you guys about megapixels and all search google yourself so the pixel camera is just amazing even the device has a single camera but there is no compromise in quality anywhere. At first even myself didn't really believe what people said about about in review but after using it I realize it can give a competition to an iPhone camera. I'm not comparing them but the device is capable that can compete with devices like Samsung S series. below are some camera samples have a look and decide yourself how good the camera really is

5. The battery is amazing

Earlier I used phones with 3000 mah and last about half a day or in some case a bit more but my pixel device works unexpectedly best even with battery of just 3140 mah its a little larger than by previous devices. My pixel device last easily about one and a half day in most cases and in rare case a little bit less depending on usage. The battery performance is really amazing I honestly didn't really expect this performance but the google OS is just amazing it complement the hardware in best possible way.

So, these are the best highlights of my device that is pixel 4a there are many still out there but I believe these are the best one and most useful one. The features explained above are just a few benefits of pixel devices I'm using pixel device from last 5-6 months. And these are the features I believe are most useful and amazing at the same time. 

One more thing the google OS is not really like stock android I mean it is but instead of give third party "extra" apps the Google OS gives it's own so all I can say is the google OS does have Google bloatware or extra applications that even if nobody uses still they are present in phone but good things is the apps can be disable.

That's it for todays blog see you in next until then do share your thoughts in comments.

Tech Facts and Tricks

Today's blog is not only about but it include some cool tricks also. So lets get started

1. Do you know if you keep your batteries(cell) in freezer it will extend its battery life. This is due to the fact that every battery/cell work with a chemical reaction and we know that in very low temperature stops the chemical reaction. So it reduces the chemical reactions in a battery and hence extends the battery life. 

2. If you use your phone while charging it may not blow your battery but it affect the batter and decreases the life span of your phone battery it may stops working soon than normal life span of battery. This is the only reason the USB cable provided with phone is too short.

3. Its a fact that if you use Duracell battery in your device and the battery may leak and damage the product. Duracell company will replace the damage product if you provide the valid proof.

4. You use  ctrl + alt + delete key combination to get to task manager but if you press ctrl + shift + esc key combination you straight forward open task manager. Its quite easier then other combination.

6. If you want cheap air lines tickets online use incognito mode(In Private browsing) instead of normal window because is you use normal window the website know you definitely going somewhere and want ticket so they increase the price. If you visit a website in incognito mode the prices remain constant as the any data is not tracked by the website.

7. If you're in an emergency situation and your phone battery is at 3% what you will do to save battery..most people simply switch off phone to save battery but its the biggest mistake as switching off and ON phone uses more battery. Instead you can turn On airplane mode of your phone to save battery.

8. Do you know you can use google as timer watch just type set timer hrs:min:sec(in numbers) and that's it, will will show notification.

Google Maps 'DAMGEROUS' ?? REALLY!!

With thousands of new fake accounts being added every month, Google Maps is flooded by about 11 million false listings and phone numbers that reroute to competing businesses. 

The majority of businesses that are not at their listed locations and the ones most prone to these scams include contractors, repairmen and car towing services, The Verge reported citing a study by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on Thursday.They're internally referred to as 'duress verticals' at Google, as they are companies people turn to in emergencies and typically without much time to verify the business' credibility.Though Google claims in a self-funded 2017 academic study that only 0.5 per cent of local searches are false listings, a separate investigation by the WSJ suggested otherwise.

The study found 13 of the top 20 Google search results listed false addresses and only two were real businesses that actually adhered to Google guidelines.

Though Google typically verifies if a business is legitimate by mailing a postcard, calling or emailing a numerical code to enter into a Google website, the system is easy enough for scammers to bypass with fake addresses and phone numbers, affecting real businesses as well as customers, the report added.

The report comes a day after the search engine giant announced that it is giving businesses more options to customize their company profiles on search and Maps through its My Business feature.

The company says it is working on new ways to report suspicious business profiles and directed people to report fraudulent activity on its Business Redressal Complaint Form.

Tech Dark Secrets

Technology is evolving very rapidly. It completes milestone very fast but even in a tech industry there are secrets that people don't want you to know. There are some companies that move forward and tell there secrets themselves.

So lets get straight to the point. Here are dark secrets of tech industry

1. You know which smartphone is good, bad or worst according to its specification But you don't know that GOOGLE claims that some smartphones are injected with VIRUS or malware even before they get in your hands.

But GOOGLE assures that if there is a virus or malware the GOOGLE PLAY PROTECT informs you about it

The main reason behind this is any tech giant can't manufacture full phone alone they might require some help of any third party company so they secretly installed virus to the phone and nobody suspects it.

2. Can you tell me how much TV you have watched today or yesterday?? Let me know in comments below

It is harsh truth of modern or evolved technology that today people is almost leave watching TV. It is a reason maybe TV is remained which is before like there is only one story which has shown in different perspectives like nagin(all seasons) and many other TV shows. There is a time when people complete their work from particular time to watch something on TV either a movie or show. The main reason behind is mobile phone

According to some expert reports from year 2021 TV will start getting finish off.

3. You know that the place on internet we surf is very small part of internet if you don't know let me know in comments below I'll make a separate blog for that. There are basically three layers of internet. they are:

• Surface web where we surf the internet
• Deep web it is Government network
• Dark web is illegal network of black hat hackers

Dark web secretly hacks small websites and sell user information on dark web people actually can buy the information of people

So many international websites like metro news posts rate of people information they are as follows:

Keep that in mind that these are rate if a person buy the accounts in bulk

• 1 Facebook account is of RS 1100
• 1 bank account is of RS 90000 
• 1 twitter account is RS 300
• 1 gmail account is rs 550

this information of people is used in identity theft are occurring mainly in cyber crimes

So its my advice never ever used a same password for multiple accounts

That's for today thanks for reading
