alright guys u may start to post, but if anything to add on, pls tag me or PM me !

I'm the 2nd here n park, cheers.

Verge review is out seems like a great phone. Only con is the lack of headphone jack and the hoops you have to jump through to get one in Malaysia

Was waiting for someone to create a thread for Pixel 2 and finally TS made it.. Has anyone purchased it? What phone case you getting?

Casing - Spigen

Phone, i need a full clarification from my cousin who residents at SG

very interested, but google not selling it here.

I'm hoping for local telco to bring pixel.

Love the hardware, software and especially the camera, tempted to get one but the large bezel makes me think again. Already used to s8+ thin bezel. Lol.

Can pre-order with shirogawa as per below

#teampixel XD

Thank god, the pixel 2 xl finally had the features that im longing for replacing my nexus 6p.
stock android, hdr+ camera, front facing speakers, water/dust resistance.

Drawback is lack of headphone jack, pricey not available in msia, poled not as good as amoled.

Not yet launch in singapore.

dont have demo unit in singtel store.

Price still not stable yet, again this phone come with single sim card only

They selling 64gb only.

I was expecting a 128GB model as well. But only 64GB...

Looks like got to wait if 1Gadget will bring it in. #fingerscrossed

Always like stock android by google. But the price is to steep. Unless selling it officialy here & have good after sales service then can swallow a little bit of that premium price.

Look like Google haven't set their officially services centre here.
If any happen then how?

Send back to US lah.

My Nexus 4 was sent back to the US, and back to Malaysia in one piece.

same here. Pixel price was thru the roof for me. I'm expecting the same for pixel 2. its a pity. the price is driving a lot of potential away.

the only other for "near" is HTC or u get Oneplus.

How much for cost with poslaju oversea?

Borne by seller (techbug).

Agreed.
Unless
Telco bringing in this phone. Hard to justify a purchase with no official after sales service on top of that high price point and accessories concerns. The price for 2 xl is around 4.2k according to techbug

Luckily got reseller, If self import may facing for send back by own pocket money. Thanks a lot..
Look like don't bet with this.

cant seem to decide between the two units, i prefer the look of the pixel 2 XL, but then the AMOLED on the 2 is supposedly better than the washed out POLED on the 2 XL. And then comes the price tag of the 2XL which is rm900 more than the 2. Im not sure whether the nicer aesthetics of the 2XL is worth that extra rm900.

hmm.. personal preference, OLED kot

how long did that take?

Does all color have that coating?

Forgot already, a couple of months maybe.

Hmm I thought Pixel 2 would be merged with Pixel thread?

Never used android phone before this year wanted to buy pixel 2xl over iPhone x.

Whoever bought the pixel 2xl please tell me if your set have the blue tint issue? Tilt left right up down see it at different angels many reviews on YouTube spotted this issue.

Otherwise I would have just went ahead and get one. So maybe iPhone for me again this year

And if u have one please tell me where u bought it and pricing . Only pixel 2xl

Personally i dont really concern this kind of level test abuse. Nexus 6p also fail these bend test but no one ever complaining their phones broke into half.

Htc10 pass this abuse test and the youtuber also said htc10 got best quality durability material. But no one buy a phone because of that, overall experience is much more important

Great point! The user experience, to me, outweighs more.

Obviously for any phone geek, care for their devices is paramount. Which is why there are accessories to complement the device while protecting it.

So fast have burn in issues?

https://www.androidcentral.com/google-pixel-2-xl-screen-burn

google did acknowledge this and request for replacement if user would find any

It’d be great if Pixel 2 XL would be brought in officially by LG My. Finger-crossing for it to happen.

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..

T&L Telecom selling Pixel 2 at qoo10
can use RM 400 voucher

https://www.qoo10.my/item/RM-3379-FOR-PIXEL...OUPON/557281348

https://imgur.com/a/xnmbu

Even with less tilt

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

This seems troubling to say the least - https://productforums.google.com/forum/?utm...8I/x0AzwEafAQAJ

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

The display issue only on the XL? the small brother got no problem?

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.

Those of you who brought pixel 2 beware:

As quote by android authority

you means from LG right? don't think there is Huawei build for pixel 2/xl

Yeah, Missquote right there... should be LG instead of huawei as i was view some huawei stuff before wrote this comment...

only T&L selling now ah??

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.

oh..already reported here display issue... damn. was trying to get the XL but issues for 4k phone ley.... sakit wor... maybe opt for mate 10

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

well, thats good to know... probably i'll have to reconsider pixel 2 xl now

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

This post has been edited by doppatroll: Oct 27 2017, 09:08 AM

2 years world wide warranty, well the process gonna take at least 1 month + lol

For those who got their Pixel 2/2XL in hand, how's the device hold up to the hype?
Any noticable issue/improvement over Pixel that you guys realized?

LEL just realized this thread exists. Ive been posting on the other thread cuz i bookmarked and subscribed to that*facepalm*

I bet this thread won't last long. Should've combined with previous thread instead.

Yeah, wonder if Google can struck a deal with LG & HTC to take care of P2 & P2XL after sale/service respectively. That includes selling the phones officially in Malaysia.

Ah, how I wish.

hey thanks, i'll pinned your latest news into 1st post..

Anyone knows if this phone already available in SG? I remember SG is the nearest country to ours which will sell this phone.

Only 2XL, exclusive under Singtel & they sell it with postpaid plans.

https://www.singtel.com/personal/products-s...nfo/googlepixel


See if got ppl selling the device cheaper after getting the device

Anyone got their Pixel 2 / XL yet?

T&L pixel 2 sold on lazada only 1 year warranty despite google giving 2 years warranty.

Standard lor for AP units. They usually provide 1yr despite original manufacturer supports longer period.

Then not worth to get from them, rugi 1 year warranty.

but if they got cheaper price and faster stock, would you go for them

Anyone got claim warranty experience with T&L? How efficient and responsive are they?

They're selling Pixel 1 quite cheap right now.

Heard they are the best in providing aftersales service in ap device. should be fine i guess

I see, so shouldn't be an issue if anything happen.

Urghh right now so torn between the Pixel 1 or S8

Which one would u all recommend?

come Pixel

once u go stock android, u never look back

I've been on stock android ever since my first android phone, which was Gnex. Then upgrade to N5X, awesome camera, good performance, nice screen n front facing speaker but then bootloop

Heard Pixel 1 got quite a few problem, like faulty microphone, battery 30% shutdwon, halo effect and got chance to bootloop too (is this true?)

So consider S8 since if anything happen easier to get spare part here, and also due to the design n decent camera.

But my heart is really telling me to get to Pixel. But I usually use phone for 2-4years, not sure if the Pixel can serve me that long

I would suggest to wait a while then grab Pixel 2 to get better software updates since the phone is 1yr newer as u expect a long usage. Another point to consider is we are not sure how long has the AP company stocked up the phone. It could be a long manufactured batch which the battery could have been manufactured quite a while ago. This also factors to the fact that in 2yrs, it could be hard to get a battery replacement once the hardware is End Of Life (despite Google still delivers android updates up to 3yrs)

My Pixel 2 (64GB) Black has arrived.

Below are some quick impressions after spending a quick 15 mins with it:

Ergonomics:

- Simple to hold in one hand coming from a Google Pixel XL model
- Easy to type with one hand

Build Quality:

- This thing feels solid in the hand like a brick with no moving parts when squeezed or pressed (Kudos HTC!)
- The back material is aluminum but because of its plastic outer coating, it has a nice smooth "sand paper-ish" texture to it that feels grippy

Haptics:

- It has been improved significantly over the Google Pixel XL's vibrator
- To describe the sensation, it feels very similar to the iPhone 7/8 Plus's taptic engine. A sharp and medium vibration is how i can ascribe the feeling on the Pixel 2
- Rear centre finger print scanner is fast. Much more faster and precise than the Google Pixel XL's

Screen:

- My unit (thankfully) doesn't exhibit any of the over-sensationalized screen gate issues i.e blue tint at 15 or 20 degree angles, no screen banding or black crush when viewing black objects after conducting several screen tests using Display Tester App (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.displaytester)
- Vivid mode is set on by default. The colors do indeed feel slightly muted/warmer compared to the vibrant Google Pixel XL's (with sRGD set to off) screen but my eyes will eventually get used to it
- I will monitor closely for the next 5 days to look out for screen burn in/image retention (fingers crossed it does not occur)

Speakers:

- These speakers get really loud at full volume and are very skewered towards treble and mids. Bass isn't very strong and punchy
- Media volume control now has 25 steps versus 15 media steps for most Android phones making volume adjustments more precise to avoid those troublesome "sudden leaps" in volume gain/drop
- Compared to my previous Nexus 6 and Moto X Pure dual speakers at full volume, the Pixel 2's are subjectively not as loud as them if i recall

Camera:

- I'll post some comparison pictures later but i do not expect it to be leaps and bounds better than the OG Pixel XL's camera. I think it may have a slight edge in low light thanks to its EIS + OIS

Let me know if you have any questions and i'll try my best to answer them during my free time. I hope the above prelim information will help others make an informed purchase decision.

Below are some photos next to my Google Pixel XL for comparison.

Attached thumbnail(s)

i believe the tilt blueish screen issue only happens to 2 XL and not 2..

will pixel 2 suffer bootloop problems like nexus 5x / 6p

Correcto ...that because pixel 2 using samsung panel while pixel 2 XL using LG panel...which not the best panel among all phone

So cheap..found at shopee


Attached thumbnail(s)

can't find it anywhere, kena take down liao?

Yup. Sudah take down. Huhu..

Chip chip chip

hmm could it be reported for scamming ?

can trust or not?
totally below cost.
maybe the box only???

pure stock or rooted??

pure stock ! My nexus 5x pure stock also bootloop !

if got friends in US, do you think it's worth it to ask him to buy and send back to M'sia? Coz i check shipping + other fees...almost like 300-400++ using those courier services...fedex, ups etc.....
or got other cheaper alternatives?

buying from local seller most likely the cheapest option.
i think one seller sell pixel 2 for RM3199 which you might pay more than that if you buy on your own and ship to malaysia.

ok noted...guess cheapest if that friend come back to M'sia....n bring it along ...but need to wait till CNY nexst year haahha

not to forget sirim as well and time it took for sirim to approve and custom to release your item

Sirim usually will only take most 2 days if done online. Walkin application within hours. There is also 6% GST to be paid based on phone declared value and courier charges

Hi, how do you compare the screen with LCD display? Been using nexus 5 and not keen on Samsung amoled display....feel a bit cartoonist....not to my liking.....

And.....does the bezel disturb u??
