I have exact sentiments man. It's not loud either... Maybe Google didn't use good speakers....
*
really? that is a major let down if so... but lots of reviewer says the front facing speaker is good though.

Relatively speaking la... like the  pixel 2 is louder than pixel 2 xl too. They are loud enough for normal use,
but i reckon there are other single speaker phones that are even louder in a controlled manner, like the fruit phone or samsung haha...
*
fruit phone is pretty loud because one of the 2 is front facing.

11Street is having CNY Coupon now, Dilemma between the 2 and 2 XL, not sure which one to get.
*
if u like big screen go for the bigger one, better for media consumption.

QUOTE(squareballs @ Jan 30 2018, 10:32 AM)
Yup I see most reviewers said it's good. But I feel it lacks depth.

So far 1 thing I agree with them. The camera is really good
*
damn can't wait to get my hands on it.

Can anyone recommend me a glass protector for Pixel 2? Been using it naked since I bought it but i'm kind of worried of scratches and stuffs. Would prefer something that fit nicely with Ringke Fusion.

just placed an order for whitestone dome, according to reviews from XDA they're quite happy with it.

Screen doesn't register multiple touch. Like when youre actively using left thumb to navigate front left right back for your character in game, using right thumb movement to pane view left right up down will fakap 80% of the time.

For day to day use, there's not much scenario that i can give which affects usage. Pinch in and out to zoom in browser/image seems to be ok. I never experienced the bug till i play PUBG
*
did you apply the fix? and if you did, did it solve the multi touch issue? I play PUBG as well and it is incredibly annoying.

Unlock bootloader has nothing to do with OTA. If u do systemless root using magisk, your system partition will remain pristine untouched. So when you download OTA,just uninstall magisk (via magisk manager app) and install the OTA update.

Then u flash magisk afterwards to regain systemless root again.

If you unlock bootloader then flash custom ROM or temper system partition, then you can do OTAs anymore. Most pixel users use factory image or OTA since stock is already good enough supplemented by magisk mods and systemless host editor for adblocker
*
thanks for the clarification, also for unlocking, should we do standard unlock or critical unlock?

Yaya. I really like the stock android experience.

But been researching around and watched some reviews on Youtube. I think the biggest concern is still the quality of the screen. eg. Burn-in, blue shift, dull/washed our color.
Plans to see if I can get a demo set to see for myself before placing an order for it.
*
if you put this phone side by side with samsung amoled screen then for sure got difference, but if you're using it day to day i think it's okay. definitely not the best but not so bad either.

First world problem, currently i'm using AirPods with Pixel 2 XL but not all function works like stop song when one earphone is off my ear.

Is the Pixel buds for sell yet?

Just checked their FB Page, yep the delivery varies from 2 days to 14 days. Hopefully mine can reach earlier.

Do you mean SP = normal screen protector? The feeling when touching normal screen protector vs glass screen protector is different. I prefer glass. This is the first time i use phone with screen bigger than 5 inch, don't know can put in pocket or not.  sweat.gif
May I know before this why it need rooting to play? And t only affect PUBG or there are many other apps/games affected?
*
because of the multi-touch issue, so playing pubg is incredibly frustrating.
