    Both showing price cuts, I'd guess it's for Black Friday but there's nothing to say why.

    No more headphones with the 5ii.

    [Discussion] What are the best alternatives for Google Photos?

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 01:53 AM PST

    Hi in recent news about Google Photos ditching the unlimited storage, do you have any good recommendation for storing your photos online? Free or paid is fine, as long as they're not too expensive.

    I tried to look for alternatives, and so far have found flickr pro (72USD/year, quite expensive) and smugmug (55USD/year for basic plan) that offers unlimited storage for a fee.

    For a more general storage I also found pCloud that offers lifetime 2TB storage for a one time fee (245USD for single user and 500USD to split between 4 people).

    Has anyone used them and can give some kind of comparison with Google Photos? Any other alternatives that I don't know about?

    Thank you.

    Edit: a little bit more context: I've already paid for Google One (200GB) for the past 3-4 years, and according to photos.google.com/storage I only have another 2 years to fill my 200GB storage. So I was looking for alternatives that really offers unlimited storage. I might or might not end up using it. Just want to know what my options are.

    Previously with Google, I had this plan B where I can convert my photos and videos to High Quality and reclaim storage.

    My short experience with the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 01:52 AM PST

    My LG V20 finally pissed me off so much that I couldn't live with it any more, so I got myself a phone that has caused some discussion here recently - the Mi 10T Pro.

    I've had it for 4 days now, so these are my first impressions so far:

    • The screen is really good. There's been quite a lot of discussion about it and some people accused XDA of being impartial, but the truth is that it's a bloody good LCD. 144hz is really something, coming from 60hz, though probably I would be happy also with 120hz. The screen itself is bright, the colors are strong and vibrant and the viewing angles are also superb. AMOLED would have had some advantages (always-on display, better blacks), but in reality the screen is really good and I can't say that I'm missing out on something.
    • The variable refresh rate is also working spot-on. I was a bit worried about this, but in reality you can't really notice the refresh rate changing. Thumbs up for that.
    • The battery life is great. I've only had it for a couple of days, so I'm still tinkering with it more than I normally would, but I'm getting 8h SOT, which is not bad. The 33w charger fills the 5000mAh battery up in roughly an hour.
    • The main reason I preferred this to the S20 FE is the CPU, as in Europe the S20 is sold with the Exynos CPU. The SD865 in the 10T Pro is, like you would expect, a good combination with the 144hz screen and I haven't seen any slowdowns yet.
    • I haven't had the opportunity to test the cameras a lot yet, but so far they seem pretty good, especially considering the price. The 108mp main camera makes great pictures and combined with OIS and EIS, it's very usable also in dark settings. The ultra-wide angle makes good photos in daylight, but when it gets dark, it doesn't hold up as well as the main camera. I would say it's on level with my old V20 wide-angle. There's also a 5MP macro lens, but I haven't tested it enough yet.
    • Build quality is great, it feels very solid in hand. It's a large phone, keep that in mind, and with the 5000mAh battery, it's also quite heavy, but at least the weight is balances so that it doesn't feel like it's falling out of your hand all the time.
    • MIUI - was expecting a lot of ads, a lot of bloatware, but so far I haven't seen a single ad and there was hardly any bloatware. Maybe it's due to the fact that they don't add all that crap to phones sold in Europe. In fact, it came with Google Dialer and Google Contacts pre-installed, so they have swapped most of their own apps with Google ones.

    So far I'm really happy with it! Even though I was worried that I would miss some of the features of the V20, other things such as a great screen, great battery life and solid performance make up for it.

    Everyone is looking for alternatives to Google photos, but many forget that without it Google home hub will stop showing you new family pictures. That's one of the main reasons I'm sticking with Google and why I can't leave.

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 08:30 AM PST

    I bought the Google home hub because how easy it was to pick my family members and then have Google home hub show me only pictures of them. I dont have to lift a finger and my "picture frames" are always up to date with the latest family pics. I don't see any other service with anything close to something like this. My only wish is for Google to come out with a septate storage plan for photos/videos. I don't need more storage for my other Google services, but if they had a discount plan for photos only, I wouldnt mind paying. Maybe like 500gb for $3 for only videos/pictures would be amazing.
