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? |

QUOTE(faizalmzain @ Oct 31 2017, 03:57 PM) buying from local seller most likely the cheapest option. ok noted...guess cheapest if that friend come back to M'sia....n bring it along ...but need to wait till CNY nexst year haahhai 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. |

QUOTE(Kagekiyo @ Oct 31 2017, 10:44 AM) My Pixel 2 (64GB) Black has arrived. 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.....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. And.....does the bezel disturb u?? |

QUOTE(Kagekiyo @ Nov 6 2017, 06:38 PM) I would like to share my personal battery life/consumption for the Pixel 2 (not the Pixel 2 XL). Wow!! Pls share more review of your usage....nexus 5 user here in desperate need of the pixel 2 camera hahaIn summary, battery life has been incredible for a 2,700 mAh battery. It's on par with my OG Pixel XL (3,450 mAh battery). For comparison, my previous record for my Pixel XL was 7 hours 9 min SOT with 17 hours 19 min standby at 6% battery left remaining. My default settings are: - Location set to ON - Bluetooth and NFC set OFF - Brightness set to 30% with Adaptive Brightness set to OFF - 2 x Google accounts in active sync - Google photos backup set to OFF - 60% LTE and 40% on Wi-Fi throughout the day - Wallpaper set to black for AMOLED screens - Silent mode set to ON Below are some screenshots for reference. |

QUOTE(yayiyu99 @ Nov 10 2017, 10:51 AM) Just received my Pixel 2 XL 128G ordered from Techbug. Price is RM4664. Techbug include free 3 pin socket adapter in the box which is very nice cause the original socket is 2 pin US socket. My first Impression after 24 hours using it and firmware is based on November security update. congrats!!! Yea techbug increased their price already 1. Display: The blue tint is very minor and almost negligible. I have no flashing screen problem as reported by Phone Arena website. Screen is very bright even at 30% brightness. I put my colour mode under saturated cos it look more vibrant and sharp. Can compete with my S7edge amoled display. Really happy with the display. It up to personal preference. Other may prefer Boost or Natural mode. 2. Loudspeaker. Not as loud as I expected. My previous Nexus 6P is much louder. The ringing tone sound for me is quite weak compare to media sound. Still ok with me but I was expecting a bit more louder. 3. Performance. Buttery smooth. I dont feel any lag yet. Maybe still very new and not much apps installed. 4. Connectivity. My 4G signal is really strong & stable. Wifi performance also very fast & stable. Never have dropout or disconnected problem yet. 5. Google Assistant. Can say Hey Google now. Very accurate and fast response. Better than Siri. With Siri your english pronunciation must be perfect but with google assistant, even with broken english you can always get the correct answer. 6. Camera Still testing it but so far the photo look very sharp & punchy. You can select HDR On or HDR Plus On. Not much different but if choose HDR On the photo capture is faster. 7. Battery Still testing it 8. Voice call Not tested it yet coz I seldom call people only use text through social media. So far after 24 hours Im really happy with this phone. since the phone is grippy, every thought bought using rhinoshield...bumper case only?? |

QUOTE(pluginbaby @ Nov 16 2017, 01:34 PM) Install new OTA first then wait for update from Gplay. Arrived to me in like 1 day. I didn't try the method to wipe Google service framework and other framework as people reported their push notification died and they need to hard reset to get all sorted back. Urs also Singtel unit? Singtel units comes with bloatware? Or pure like unlocked version? Heading to sing end of the month and can see lots of Ads selling their Singtel unit....I might be rooting end of this week. Cannot tahan see ads. I don't wanna use other browser than Chrome just because I don't wanna see ads. VPN adblocker is too much for me due to increase of services in phone and might lead to higher latency or battery drain. |

QUOTE(pluginbaby @ Nov 16 2017, 10:46 PM) No la. I bought from Shiro. He ordered it from Google US. Safe eh buying singtel unit. What if they didn't do well on contract then your Imei blacklisted by Google. True.... That's also a concern.... Waiting to see if Google giving discount during black Friday...if so will order from Shiro if he reduces the price.... |
