Another thing that happened where we thought it would be better, but

Adverbs of manner

it actually got worse is that the Google has announced that the Pixel 9 series is now going to have the ability to use Airdrop as well.

So if you remember, a few weeks ago, Google added compatibility for the Pixel 10 series to have Airdrop.

They said, we are excited to bring this to more Android phones soon.

We were hoping that more Android phones would be more Android phones, not more Google phones.

It's being added to all Pixel 9 devices except for the 9a.

And when reached for comment about this, Google just kind of gave their PR answer of we're excited to bring this to more Android phones in the future.

I was really hoping they were just going to be using the Pixel 10 series as a test bed to make sure it worked on Android at all and had enough stability, et cetera, et cetera.

But now they're just putting pushing it to the nine.

I don't really know what needs to be done here, but can I.

Because when 10a drops, 10a will have it and they need to wait a couple months for 9A to get it.

Nothing we'll talk about in a minute, but not much has changed in the 10A.

But doing that off the back of finally having an Apple feature is just very strange.

Blip kind of hit the studio this year hard.

And like we've been an airdrop studio, as you've probably been familiar.

Like a lot of us are using Final Cut Pro and Max in the studio, so we like pass files back and forth and it's decently useful for, I'd say anything up to about one gig, but

as soon as I see like 890 megabytes, I need to send somebody a file.

I'm like, do I really want to airdrop this?

Like, it's going to not work some of the times.

Every time I go to open to share an airdrop, it starts populating and it goes 3, 6, 12, 15.

There's a ton of devices and I go to click the one to airdrop to and then it slides over and it slides again to the next row.

Every single time I miss and I send it to the wrong person and it's really annoying.

Anyway, Airdrop usually doesn't work after a large enough file size or it's extremely slow.

And Rufus, I think, is the one who brought Blip to the studio.

And he's like, it's just an app that does the same exact thing, but

And it's cross platform and it's local, it's faster.

We got to give Rubiz a little more credit because it was the kind of thing where he was like, let me blip this to you.

We were like, dude, you want me to download a thing?

Just so you know I'm not getting another.

And then everyone sends their first blip and it's like, whoa.

For the super niche content tech content creators out there who might be reviewing Android phones and editing on a Mac, being able to send the files through Blip instead is life changing.

Yeah, all four of us who are reviewing Android phones.

Anyway, Google decided to drop the Pixel 10a this week.

They were sort of teasing it because it looks the same.

So they just showed us what it looked like already.

Now we have all the official specs and all the official numbers and everything.

And it's the same as the Pixel 9a, almost literally the same.

So I went into this thinking it's the same phone.

I have the spec sheet in front of me here.

So I'm like, what do they actually change in the Pixel 10a?

I have a full list here of everything that's different about pixel 10a.

It was actually like a millimeter protruding.

The uniform bezels, I can't tell with my eyes, but I'm told they're slightly thinner.

Wireless charging goes from seven and a half watts to 10.

Did they tell you the wired charging thing?

Their spec sheet they sent is so vague and annoying.
