wait ...... people answer numbers they dont recognize?

My phone doesn’t even ring if they’re not in my contact list.

Ahh…the android marketing machine at its best. lol. The problem with android is the fragmentation of the ecosystem. I think that is a Google hardware specific feature

agreed, only use android on their pixel phones, wouldn't get a different make...not anti apple either, love my ipad and macbook pros...

just do like the pixel on google fi cell service over iphone on any of the very awful carriers (not an iphone issue, more of a verizon and at&t issue for me)

I don't know if I could ever not have a flip phone again. Folds up so nice and compact.

i know my google voice number has that option but does this apply to any number you use (your carrier number specifically) on the pixel phones? i hadnt noticed it on my samsung

Only on Pixel phones. That's why they are the best if you are on Android platform.

We got one of these to play with at work. It’s of nice. The screen isn’t as good as a normal smartphone.

That's what I have. I was very reluctant to leave the pixel phones behind. But I really liked the flip phone concept. When it first came out there was a promotion to get it for $300, so I got it. Camera sucks compared to the pixel, but other than that I like it. I try to do everything I can on the little screen, and not flip it open unless I have to. Really cuts down on my phone usage, cause it's really not fun using the little screen. Prevents me from wasting time doom scrolling on social media. And it's so much less of a pain in the ass to put into a pocket, or anywhere really. Love how compact it is.

Yes I’m old…and while I have some tech knowledge, I still have to ask my students or friend’s kids how to do things.

Yesterday I learned how cool air drip is. No more trying to upload photos to a shared drive or that awful pixelated video that I used to get in text messages with my Droid.

Counting down the time it takes until an Android user says why Airdrop & Shared Albums leads to child slavery in Asia in 5...4...3...2...1...

How's it going after a few months @Robin? After swearing I would never try an iPhone again I'm thinking of it once more, since I'd like to stop relying on everything google.

I’m very happy. There was some adjustment as far as getting my settings dialed in and navigating but overall I’m very happy.

The best part is sharing photos and videos via airdrop.

And the usb-c cable which was already everywhere at home/car.

I feel the same way. It actually fits in my pocket without jabbing me in my hip whenever I bend down.
Being able to use the main camera for selfies and using the phone as it's own tripod were some added features I never thought of when I bought it, but are very useful.
