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?

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?

Hey guys, I'm total noob when it comes to customs and stuff. I have got a friend in states and he's ready to help me buy and send Pixel 2 XL. But he asked me "what about customs in Malaysia?" To which I've got no idea. So I'm asking your help - what would happen if he was to buy one and send it to me through courier? Would I need to do some customs clearance stuff or what? Please help me. Never done these stuffs before.

Apply Sirim online or go apply at custom counter.

QUOTE(benny888 @ Oct 31 2017, 04:27 PM)
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

Apparently he had a good reviews from his customers and very reputable around. I was thinking to get pixel 2 xl from him as well, despite the flaw of the pixel 2 display. sad.gif

This phone is very close to perfect and fulfilling all my wants and needs. So I figured to give this phone a shot.

Pixel 2 screen got no issue, it's pixel 2 xl.

QUOTE(Someonesim @ Nov 13 2017, 07:46 PM)
If hand not itchy then keep in box first, as I remember my cry-worthy-heartache moment when my OG Pixel XL, put on my lap and it slide down. Two scratches on bezel, 3 hairline at middle of screen, before I even power it on  doh.gif

where was that pixel xl?

QUOTE(pluginbaby @ Nov 13 2017, 09:12 PM)
Accidents happen when u least expecting it. Anyone using their Pixel 2 nekkid?

Not on Pixel 2, but I used rhinoshield on Pixel XL and 6P, definitely recommended. When I accidentally drop my phone even on tarmac, all friends will inhale and shout OMG, while I just casually pick it up with confidence.
Two cons are side felt loose ( but guaranteed your phone wont slip out, too tight to even force it out ), and button too stiff.
Rhinoshield + dbrand skin = my prefer combo  wub.gif

haha taking out the bumper out of dbrand skin most likely will tear the side. unless you're very carefully person with high luck rate. tongue.gif

No headphone jack and Google Photo only last till 2020 are very big no.
All related accesories for P2 is still high price tag, and not much choice.

3.5mm headphone port will slowly die eventually  cry.gif 

I might just keep my OG Pixel XL for that reason as well, if I ever upgrade to Pixel 2 XL or 2018 successor.
*
If user can ignore those missing port, Pixel 2 is a very solid great phone to begin with. by the time Pixel 3 launch, Pixel 2 will be cheaper and accessories availability will be easy to find too.

QUOTE(pluginbaby @ Nov 23 2017, 07:48 AM)
I agree on the headphone jack despite my needs are different but the chances of still using Pixel 1 in 2020 above is slim tho.
*
Yeah, I initially think just like yours. Considering I've sold my Pixel and Pixel XL before, I think I should move to new flagship which is Pixel 2. Having hard time to deal with bluetooth headset (need to charge after certain hour of usage), I realize headphone jack is a real deal breaker. It just that convenient to have the best of both wire and bluetooth headset to use, as both can perform best in different situation.

From my experience of Pixel OG, I bet SD821/4gb ram will survive another few years, if you can resist new incoming flagship spec.

Bad luck. My haptic feedback of my Pixel 2 decided suddenly stop working for my device.

Anyone have experience getting warranty from T&L?

if send back normally take how long for them to send back a unit ?
*
If withing 1 week of arrival, you can get 1 to 1 replacement. More than that, you'll be send for repair process that will take up to weeks to complete. But first, ask them on FB or straight email them (you should got the paper included in box).

QUOTE(Someonesim @ Nov 23 2017, 03:20 PM)
For me, smoothness > all

You may find OnePlus or even Samsung/Huawei ( when it work accordingly ) can be faster at apps opening etc, but non can rival the consistency of smoothness, it's just constant 60fps.
*
Pixel on stock android also got lag sometime too, I'd say 99.9% smooth, and 0.1% lag.

Wanna ask for those who are already using Pixel 2/2XL, have you encounter any issue so far? And if yes, did you claim warranty on that? and how'd it goes?

Anyone have experience buying Pixel/Pixel 2 direct from Verizon US? It seems can't be OTA update without Verizon sim. Any help regarding this?

Ya that should be the Nov security update OTA which brings Boosted and Saturated screen mode.

Btw in 8.1 DP2 they introduced SRGB settings again in Dev settings.

p2xl is nice if screen issue ignored. smoothness is on another level, even camera win against ipx.
