Anyone knows if this has any kind of fast charge?

Got the type C Power delivery for charging usual
But what's interesting is the wireless charging dock also allows for fast charging as well in the some hands on video.

For warranty claiming purposes, will Google compensate for shipping charges?
*
No, they don't
They do provide postage slip for free returns from the country that you bought the google device.

Since Google Canada is now offering free Pixel stand with any purchase of Pixel 3 / 3 XL, I got a quotation from shipbymail.com. The estimated shipping will be $63 Canadian dollars for express shipping which should take about 5 to 7 days to reach Malaysia.

Total price for a Pixel 3 64GB + Pixel Stand will be $1,062 Canadian dollars which work out to be roughly RM3.3K depending on the exchange rate. Tax not included if applicable.

Tempting eh? Cheaper than you buy from US, Taiwan, India, Singapore or UK.

Add some insurance + sirim so ends up around 3.5k

Warranty is provided by Google Canada. As for shipping insurance from Canada to MY, I am checking with the shipping company. I will let you know when they get back to me.
The product is shipped to a forwarder in Canada. Google will not compensate your shipping from MY to Canada in the event you need to return the device.
I check my phone on SIRIM. No record found.  innocent.gif

Nobody likes sirim, always with that rm100 fee if phone can't pass customs
You already got yours bro? From US?

RM15/pound. Additional insurance is 3% of total shipping value. Maximum claim is USD1K

Still need to apply sirim right?
So overall,
Phone price + postage (2lb at least) + insurance + rm100 (sirim) + custom charges (item above rm500)

pixel 3a no face unlock if i'm not wrong

Kinda disappointing it's not included, I'm using pocofone f1 and it works so well I had to disable face unlock when I'm getting notification.

I don't really play much with the ar stuff but good to know it's included

I was using Q Beta 3 for about 2 weeks on my ex Pixel 2 XL. Generally i had no major issues with it. I found it smooth and bonus is, you get options for general navigation, so those who want the classic 3 button layout can choose so. Only issues i had were banking apps would not work (Citibank, MBB) and i had some issues with the Lazada app. Other than that, all my apps worked and it felt really polished for me. Can sign up for the beta and get the OTA, so no data loss. Be warned however that if you want to go back to Pie, it would need a phone wipe.
*
For the banking apps, is it because they're not optimized for android q yet?

Has anyone tried the dual-sim feature on Q with 2 physical SIM cards (not eSIM) ? Does it work well?

This feature already removed in beta 3 right?

Even if there is this option, how can we put 2 simcards in pixel sim tray?

From what I've read, it's similar to iphone xs using esim + physical sim.
Seems like only maxis & celcom got esim now

Oh yeah, there is support for beta 3 for select android devices with dual sim slot. Don't think I can test it out since pocofone not listed 😅

Hi All

Just to give update on my pixel 3 XL purchase from Aztech (°Lazada)

I received a replacement Pixel 3 XL from Aztech after 3 weeks.
This time it's brand new and seller is reliable.

So far , phone is ok. It's a brand new.

yes. because Pixel runs now playing feature even when its locked. pretty handy if you want to know the name of the song you're listening to suddenly.

Yeah, it's a really good feature
Even on airplane mode can still the detect the song, i wonder how much space they allocate for it in the os.

T&L is faster than Shirogawa in shipment terms, as the latter would only order once full payment is made, and he has to wait for order and shipment from the US. Good thing is that the warranty is directly from Google US, but another issue would be the time taken for any warranty claim as the phone would need to be sent to Shirogawa, and back to the US and back to Malaysia after repair/replacement.

Normally it takes about 5-6 business days from order to get T&L sets. But warranty is from them. They do have an office in KL though, that processes warranty claims.

Yes, T&L provided a 3 pin plug

For anyone with past experience with shirogawa,
Do you have to cover the shipping fee back to us?

Do you mean for ordering or for warranty purposes? For warranty, i am not sure as i have not had the unfortunate chance to return a unit to him yet. But for ordering, his price includes pos laju to your home, so its an all-in price. No need to worry about shipment costs, taxes etc as its all in his quote to you.
*
Yeah, basically when you need to claim warranty and ship it back to us. Does shirogawa cover for that too?

Yes, Pixel can only rapid-charged wirelessly on Pixel Stand. Anything else is limited to 5W, no matter how powerful your wireless charger is.

How fast with wireless rapid charge?

Pixel Stand can charge at 10W devil.gif

Yeah, but how long does it take usually? Like can get 50% in 30 minutes or 1 hour 30 minutes for full charge
I'm still a bit skeptical when one guy from youtube bought every wireless charger only to comment you might as well be better off with wired charging sweat.gif
