I think there's dust under my glass back. So this phone isn't really water proof?

It's just water resistance.

Water proof and water resistance is different

I see, so no getting some speck of dust out unless i replace the glass

Guys, according to this article, Pixel 3’s photos are comparatively a little less harsh and contrasty than the Pixel 2’s. That means the photos are a little less dramatic than last year’s phone.

Does the new camera update reflect this change? Photos tend to be slightly warmer and less contrasty compared to back then during Pixel 2 era? I actually prefer it to be this way, less harsh.

Hi guys.

New to this thread. Interested in buying 2 XL. The thing is gonna spend quite a bit knowing support going to be difficult.

Is it worth the risk? Thanks

Hi I just bought a used Pixel 2XL. Can recommend me screen protector other than Whitestone Dome?
The screen is not perfect (since it is used set) so don't feel like investing in Dome.

Apparently once you sold your phone bought from T&L will void the warranty.

I think u can bypass warranty by going directly to google, but need someone to help with shipping to USA(or the country of origin) and back to malaysia, and hope that your device doesn't get missing along the way

Seen as low as RM1.35k and RM1.4k lately.

It also depends whether the seller is willing to RMA for you in case anything goes wrong. The issue is, most of the Pixels here were purchased from TnL which only provide warranty to the first owner. If the seller does not want to help u to RMA, it's basically counted as no warranty.
*
Can we create a new email with name of the original owner(iin the invoice) and claim warranty? Or they only allow warranty request coming from original email used for purchase?

From what I heard is only original email during purchase.

theoretically, can we pretend to lost access to old email used during purchased..... what would they say to that

Went to directD and they recommend Clearplex. Not sure if it is as good as Whitestone Dome since it is film not tempered glass.

They recommend it cuz that's what they are selling i guess lol

I just bought a used pixel 2 xl, he says from T&L Telecom. But no imei sticker on the box, should I worry?

Noticed some burned in on screen too for nav bar and status bar.

That's odd. I read somewhere before there is some online IMEI checker to see if the phone has been blacklisted or something. Not sure of the link though.
Looks legit. Do you see a charging rapidly message at the bottom of the lockscreen when you charge?
*
Yeah not black listed i check using imei, but apparently verizon set. The seller claimed it's TnL, does TnL bought from verizon? No imei on box or anything but phone's working ok as of now,

Except weird burn in that doesn't match the height of the status bar and navigation. And I noticed for the burned icon in status bar is a bit bigger than current icon. Any idea?
