What is the point of putting motion sense in a device that spends its entire life either in your hand or within arm's reach? They stuck a kinect in a phone but won't give us a damn headphone jack?
- jpm_sd 7y agoSeems better suited to a Google Home device or a robot or something
- mattnewton 7y agoI honestly feel the same way. The pixel 3a is the Android device for me.
- drusepth 7y agoI'm really excited for the 4a, but I can't really justify upgrading from the 3a yet. I honestly can't think of a single complaint about it; it's an amazing phone.
- oh_sigh 7y ago> Motion Sense additionally detects when you're near your phone and when you reach for it, allowing your Pixel to be more helpful by anticipating your actions, such as by priming the camera to provide a seamless face unlock experience, politely lowering the volume of a ringing alarm as you reach to dismiss it, or turning off the display to save power when you’re no longer near the device.
- SketchySeaBeast 7y agoI don't know how that's much better than lift to wake, unless you intentionally loom over your phone to unlock it.
- Causality1 7y agoThere is no way in hell it has the kind of viewing angle to pick up my hand more than a fraction of a second before I touch the phone. Not that it matters, since the camera and the accelerometer can do all those things already.
