Blue tint? I dunno, but based on my unit, I dont see it as an issue. Just hv a look at the picture between my pixel 2 xl and note 8.

I prefer this 'blue tint' over warm tint of samsung amoled.

Hahaha don't. Later they bomb this thread habissssss :8. Anyway it kinda looks like blue light filter / night mode.
You'll be running it nekkid or protected? Got cases / SP?
*
nope. I schedule my blue filter from 12am to 6am every night.

I bought a tempered glass from techbug, but honestly, the quality is quite poor. As I don't have any casing yet, I applied clear coat / mobile outfitter for the back and edge side for temporary protection against scratch.

Nah, just helping to make others aware of the hardware related issues for the Pixel 2 XL.
Congrats on getting your Pixel 2 XL! Fingers crossed that it'll be free of any problems!

It looks like your unit doesn't have a very strong blue tint which is great!

P.S: I've seen a couple of videos/read user feedback that battery charging on the Pixel 2 XL is relatively slow. Almost taking 2.5 hours from 0% --> 100%. Can you kindly confirm if this is true in your case?

Additional reading that battery charging on the Pixel 2 XL:

"the HTC Pixel 1 Mini used multi-stage Li-Ion rapid charging. Two stages of constant-current, followed by a final constant-voltage stage.

However the LG Pixel 2 XL uses a SINGLE stage of constant-current, followed by constant-voltage. This seems far less "optimized".

Nope. My Pixel 2 (thankfully) doesn't have any of the 2 above issues. It only affects some models (if you're unlucky) - not all.
*
Thanks! Yeah thank god.. buying device nowadays is like a lottery lol.

I will check on the charging rate and update u guys here.

As expected, last week i did ask techbug on the stock availability and they mention that 2nd batch already received.... i assume your already the second batch.... book mine after your...i should be receiving mine after mid of nov...when did you book yours with techbug ?

I ordered the morning after Google launched this phone.


QUOTE(yewfatt @ Nov 6 2017, 07:52 PM)
Those who gotten the phone. Mind to share what tempered glass and case u guys using?
*
I bought tempered glass from techbug, but apparently it doesn’t fits well, common for earlier batches of tempered glass.. however i have clearcoat / mobile outfitters installed so now stick with that temporarily.

For case, i purchased google official case from techbug and despite it is a lil bit on the pricey side, is excellent!

Hey Irenic, was js wondering about the size of 2XL. Is it pretty much the same as iPhone 8 Plus? I mean in terms of the body dimensions. Thanks
*
the size is almost identical. pixel 2 is lighter and it's coating provides better grip than iPhone 8+

I read lots of people go for Pixel 2 out of fear of screen issue on Pixel 2 XL. Me too at first. But upon receiving the phone, I noticed that while the blue tint is there, it is no way worse than reddish tint on galaxy s8 or yellow/warm tint on note 8. My friend also just got his pixel 2 xl from aussie and found no issue with the screen as well.

I dunno if current batches hv no problem or people just exaggerate the issue. Now I'm using Pixel 2 XL with iPhone X with the note 8 just been sold, I can safely say these are the character of AMOLED / OLED panel. So if u like pixel 2 xl, just go for it. Don't waste money buying the pixel 2 if it is actually your 2nd choice.

Blue Tint is there on my unit but not annoying at all. It lessen a bit after I updated to latest OTA. I noticed the screen does seem grainy a bit but that was at super close view. You'll probably see it if use it for VR due to the distance. At daily usage angle, it is not visible for my eyes.

Haven't aggressively used my unit yet until I got my protector and case. Can suggest any physical shop to get em quick?
*
I use clearcoat and google fabric case.


QUOTE(weajyue @ Nov 14 2017, 08:43 AM)
Worth ? Haha thinking of getting one good casing .

How much u get for it ?
*
Bought from techbug. It’s a bit pricey at RM250 but it really feels good in hand.

How about the customs stuff? Did you apply for sirim and other requirements? I wanted my friend to send me from states but i heard I need to pay money to customs and sirim to get it in. So any tips?
*
Quite easy. If u wanna do yourself, just filled the sirim form and print all the documents needed. Head over to sirim office pass the docs with RM100 fee.

Then once it settle, update the courier company. For tax or gst, fedex normally will settle it for u. Just pay them during delivery or collection.
