I have touched and felt Pixel 2XL at Bestbuy here in US. The screen edge between the bezel and the screen is rough with gap. It has the feeling that it can peel/kopek the bezel out over long period of  time. TIme to look for Mate 10 pro now....sighh..  sad.gif

Saw no reviewer mentioned about this. Or maybe that's lemon unit?

argh. i'm very interest in pixel 2 xl but apparently this display issue is hindering me from buying one. Just awful man.

I dont mind losing headphone jack but the most important element is still the display. Lack of saturation is fine but the burn-in and color shifting when tilted for a rm4k device.. I don't think i can pull that trigger lol.

So close to a perfect device sad.gif

Hi Jetwash,
May I check how long does it take to ship the phone back to you in Msia? How much did you spent on the RMA to US? To and Back also pay by yourself?

Borne by seller to/fro (Techbug). Took maybe a couple of months, or was it a month, long time already.

Same here....i wont mind about the colour shift since i wont be looking at slight tilt angle but the burn in is kind of serious issue to me (I mean like after several days usage as some reported, imagine would have to return the phone and no phone to used)....that hinders my purchase on google 2 xl too and it looks like more and more problem popping out from pixel devices (New issue such as audio problem should and also black smear)

still monitoring how google would respond to the issue, google should had gone with HTC built instead of huawei built.....

Smaller brother kena high pitch and clicking sound as reported and published by android authority.

QUOTE
beginning with the audio, there are dozens of reports hitting the internet about high-pitched noises and clicking from the Pixel 2 when it’s next to a person’s ear. This has appeared in the Google product forums — the company is aware of it — and it seems to be mostly affecting the HTC-made standard Pixel 2 rather than the Pixel 2 XL


Those of you who brought pixel 2 beware:

As quote by android authority

QUOTE
it has been reported that a Pixel 2 unit was sold to a customer “As New” despite failing testing due to cosmetic damage. How the mix up happened isn’t clear, though the customer is to receive a replacement device and $10 Google Play credit for the inconvenience.

Correct.

Only T&L has the Pixel 2 model on sale available at:

1) Qoo10 - RM3,175 after using the RM400 voucher (https://www.qoo10.my/item/RM-3175-FOR-PIXEL-2-64GB-RM-3914-FOR-PIZEL-2-128GB-RM-400-COUPON/557281348?banner_no=204810)

2) Lazada - RM3,399 (https://www.lazada.com.my/google-pixel-2-64gb-lte-black-ready-stock-113151075.html?spm=a2o4k.seller-1316.0.0.5670355aNcMtG6&ff=1&sc=KSQF&mp=1&rs=1316). They have 8 SKUs in ready stock as of today (26 Oct).

T&L is still sourcing for a supplier for the Pixel 2 XL model from UK/Europe. It's best we wait for them to do so in order for us to make a price comparison with other local resellers.

For those sitting on the fence - since the Pixel 2 XL is plagued by hardware related issues (blue tint screen) and screen burn in that software alone will not be able to resolve unless Google & LG decides to release a new batch of "defect-free" P-OLED screens in the future, the Pixel 2 might be a good option to consider if you can live with a 5 inch screen, a smaller 2,700mAh battery and large bezels.

Update: I just made a purchase for 1 x Black Pixel 2 64GB unit from T&L. I expect it to arrive within 5 working days. Looking forward to it.

Great news for Pixel 2 and 2 XL owners!

I might consider purchasing a Google Pixel 2 XL with confidence after this official statement by Google on the deliberating hardware issues.

TL:DR

- a new mode for more saturated colors, which will be made available via a software update to both Pixel 2 phones in the next few weeks (maybe with Android 8.1 update)

- differential aging is in line with that of other premium smartphones and should not affect the normal, day-to-day user experience and there will also be software updates to optimize it further

- every Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL will now come with a 2-year warranty worldwide

For me it is half good to know, but having the hassle return the phone is one thing but as we know software cant optimize burn in defect....but would still love having Pixel devices though
