Clearing it's throat before it tells you that it loves you. Duh...

Ahem, I like you as a fellow imgurian

So which Black Mirror episode is this?

None. That's the movie "Her".

I just wished my Google Home a Happy Valentines, and she gave me a fun fact and then preceded to serenade me.

I asked her if she'd be my valentine's date and she said yes. Then I bragged to a coworker, she got envious, now I have to take her instead

Buggier, though. If my phone has ok Google detection turned on the media volume gets changed at random in the background.

Now ask her to serenade you.
Oh my. She has a surprisingly lovely singing voice.
I don't want to admit how much time I just wasted on that.

But nothing beats cortana. (may you rest in peace, Windows phones)
TakeshiKovaks
I really miss Cortana's car bluetooth integration. Android and Iphone fall way short.
She was better left in fiction.

She's still there and sassy in Win 10.

How so? Just got a pixel2 after years of using an iphone, so I'm still getting used to everything.

Remember, if you ever have a question, just give her a squeeze and start asking.

You can ask Google anything and if it doesn't know it will Google your sentence. Siri and Alexa both say I don't know that.
PersonalDildo
No they google your sentence lmao
CasuallyDressed
Nope, Siri Googles the question for you too. Don’t know about Alexa.
Oh cool. Siri was never very informative so end the end I only used it to set timers and alarms.

Spotify can be launched from google assistant if you link your Spotify account.

I did not know you could use Google Assistant on iphone
Thank you. I'll check it out.
That’s some shitty testing cause Siri has been able to do all that they say it can’t do for a long time now for me
They added the ability to physically type your request? News to me.
If I wanted to type my request I would just go to google...
And fine, that article hardly stands alone: http://www.businessinsider.com/siri-vs-google-assistant-cortana-alexa-2016-11
The only time Siri really fails is being able to play music from non Apple apps, but that’s cause they don’t have permissions for security
Yep. Do it their way or not at all. Apple's product strategy in a nutshell.
NexiKuro
There's a reason why they're the only one that still uses proprietary connectors for their mobile phones.
thelaughingknight
What is this?
Google Assistant
Jeenius
Like, Cortana?
KeepYourNoodles
Yes idk why your getting downvoted
CheetahFart
Cause Cortana is like the least popular, latest assistant out there so kind of weird to use for comparison
Onfire7
And Apple's Siri and Amazon's Alexa.
ZachariasWolfe
Are you asking if it's like Cortana? Because Cortana is from Microsoft
Right. That makes sense. I only remember her being on my old Windows phone.
SincerelyHated
She's probably the 2nd worst of the assistants following Samsung's Bixby which is just so beyond worthless its mind numbing
coluccil2011
If youre talking about cortana, i agree, she redirects you to bing
ElynaerDeiros
So beyond worthless I'd literally never heard of it.

I asked Siri if she loves me and she said “Oh look, a puppy”. So what android phone should I get?

I assume you have a high-end budget, otherwise Xiaomi is pretty good. Got a Redmi 3S for 150€ and I love it (just flashed Nitrogen 8.1 rom)

Moto G, good and inexpensive - which is nice.

I love the Moto z2 force. Capable, lightweight, and has mods. I got a projector that snaps onto it for presentations.

Pixel 2 or a Samsung. Actually go for the Samsung.

im extremely happy with my moto z play. Endless battery time :D

I've been pretty happy with my Moto X4. It's a good bit cheaper, but still holds up to newer phones. You don't get the attachments though.
i got my z play for about 250 bucks. amazon warehouse deal :D

What issues are you having with the Pixel?

samsung is very reliable and IMO it lasts a long time.
I really like Samsung phones from a hardware perspective, but their software drives me nuts.
QuackDodgers
Will get downvoted, but I'm on my 8th "warranty replacement" Samsung J7 and will never touch another samsung product. Just another opinion
well what was breaking on it and how were you using it...
Less then regular use, I keep very good care of all my electronics. On updates they would say "verification failed please factory reset"
Which, obviously, would send them into infinite loops of needing that update. Sometimes would happen on phone resets aswell.

First of all, if this even is a security problem, it only affects Chinese users. Secondly, nothing has been proven, and speculating 1/2-

Speaking about not doing research. How does this only affect Chinese users?
The Google Pixel 2 or 2 XL would be my recommendation.
Honestly have heard great reviews. Expected a satire response. Happy Valentine’s Day ????
ThePizzaGuyOfJustice
Coming from my Pixel 2 XL, Get a Pixel 2 or XL. Fun fact: they're the only phones that Snapchat actually uses the camera on.
DrunkGermanGuy
Would love a Pixel 2 to replace my Nexus 5X, but damn these things are expensive.
ConfuMeister
Don't buy Google Pixel 2 XL .Go for Pixel 2 . Samsung Note 8/S8 .Or Sony xperia premium .

I love my Note 8!

Seconded, I love my Pixel 2. Accidentally dropped it in a toilet and it still works.

Pixel 2xl user here. My favorite phone. I had the Nexus 6p previously and before that all Samsung devices. Pixel 2xl is by far superior.

It can only be bought through Verizon or Google. It's unlocked though. And can be used with Project Fi as well.

Note 8. The stylus. I don't give a fuck about drawing, I just like to have a stylus for the precise input.

"my pixel 2". when did android users get as obnoxious as apple ones?
Have always been....same superiority complex different product.
itsimpossibletofindausernamethatisnttaken
I bought the first pixel. Not a terrible phone but can't say I was super impressed either. Pixel 2 a solid improvement?
PrincessSatana
I got the Pixel 2xl since the screen was so small on the Pixel 2. Screen cover is the only thing I hate, so I'd say it's a good buy
I didn't own the first Pixel, but I can say it's a huge improvement over the Motorola Turbo 2 and is IMHO better than the Samsung Galaxy.
Huge improvement in terms of battery life, but otherwise not a major update. Kind of like going from an iPhone 6 to 6S, you know?
Like, it's definitely better in every way, but not to the point that I'd recommend it if you didn't like the original.
ThatsNotMyPenisPump
I have the pixel 2 XL and it's amazing in every way except when I'm using the Imgur app it slows my phone down considerably and 1/2
everything either stops responding or responds incredibly slow. 2/2
Check the version of the app you are running. I'm using 3.5.2.6496 on my Google Pixel 2 XL and am not having that issue.
Might need to update or try uninstalling / reinstalling.
Well I'm running the beta lmao
