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.

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  cry.gif

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 sad.gif
*
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)

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.

Why that note 8 is horribly red but no one make noise? 😂

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.

Eh MO stocked Pixel 2 XL ady? That's niceeeeee. Thanks for the info bruh

Ya they are very fast since all the cutting are online from their server.
Thanks! Yeah thank god.. buying device nowadays is like a lottery lol.

I will check on the charging rate and update u guys here.
*
The charging is definitely slower after 65%. Google implemented it to preserve battery lifespan maybe because all the nexus6p battery kaput fiasco. With 3yrs of update promise, surely the battery need to be at least survive that long.

I'm on the fence about the implementation for battery. I think it is ok. If there's any custom kernel providing tweaks to buff it, I'll give it a try but the stock charge speed is reasonable enough. Gonna miss dash charging on my 3T surely.

Talking abt Google "throttling" batt charging to increase the lifespan on batt... I don't see OnePlus is doing it and their products are just fine. I'm jealous with my wife's OP3 btw.
*
Dash Charge is a different implementation where the heat is at the charger, not the phone. So that helps to help to reduce the effect compared to Qualcomm's fast charge. Google is pushing for the Power Delivery standard and new pixel 2 users are among the first to be lab rats unfortunately of this new standard

say, if i got a friend of mine going to states soon, can he bought it off the shelves anywhere? or he need to buy it online via google?

if he can bring it back undetected by custom.. will it be any issue later?

thanks!

Best Buy physical store it is. Check kaw kaw on the spot because you could replace instantly. If order through google then there is a waiting time to do RMAs.

Idk how to advice bout smuggling it in. Zero experience

normally there is no problem if you hand carry the item without the box.....if you put in the box possible might kena tax and been question for

Those who got their pixel .... Is the charger is in 18Watt ? im planing to used my 18W blitz wolf QC 3.0 charger to charge pixel once i got the phone
*
Have u checked if that charger is following USB C 'safe standards' by at least compare against Nathan K or Benson's tested list? I dont think Blitz Wolf is on the list but u may search if anyone that has used it on Pixel 2 given feedback if it charge fine or not. If wrong spec then the phone might pull incorrect power from charger resulting in damage.

Note that the above list might be outdated now. Saw an updated list of peripherals few weeks back.
