I admit to being amazed at the fingerprint sensor in my Pixel XL, after considerable reservations prior to receiving the phone. In two and a half weeks of steady use of the XL the sensor has only failed to unlock the phone once - and I'd picked it up really awkwardly so in that case it was for...

That's right - the OP is about a change in operating systems as well as phones. Try a LG V20 if the camera is not up to scratch in the Pixel, any fault perceived with photos is not about Android.

I wanted to try a wallet for my Pixel XL rather than a case. My Nexus 5 went 'naked' for its life (and never a scratch on it) but now I want to avoid carrying an additional, separate wallet with me all of the time as well as the phone - at work, for example. Requirements: credit card slots...

I haven't used a screen protector since I began using BlackBerrys in the earlier part of this century (umm, model 7200 was my first I think). Then Samsung S2 then Nexus 5, as of this week Pixel XL. Have never had a single scratch on a glass screen. Looking at my 28 month old Nexus 5 now and...

My Australian experience so far is that I ordered my Pixel XL from Google on 18th October. [EDIT: Oops, was so angry I posted this in the wrong Pixel thread. Never mind] El Goog did their bit and despatched it to me - presumably from the Singapore warehouse - on 20th October. Yay! Sent on the...

tl;dr. But this is just another "Buy an iPhone" thread under a different title, isn't it?

Not sure, Billy Bob, I do wonder what phones like the higher end LG ship with. Some of their models have hi fi DAC circuitry from the likes of B & O and now I think Quad. Not much point playing something that capable through el cheapo earphones... so what is supplied with the phone by LG...

To be fair, as with most imported items we are royally jammed on price in Australia. Pixel XL 128GB for example is AUS$1,419 which at today's exchange rate of 0.76 equates to about US$1,080. As an Aussie, I'd rather do without the no doubt indifferent quality standard Pixel headphones and pay...

I ordered a 128 GB black Pixel XL Tuesday night (18th October) and just received notification it has been shipped. Hoping for delivery via Toll Global Express by mid- next week. Delivery to Sydney, Australia, from the Singapore warehouse. Perhaps the distribution has been skewed towards some...

There may be different numbers of units reserved for different countries, Google being global and all that. I'm in Australia and ordered my Pixel XL (black, 128 GB) from store.google.com. There was no delay processing the order, it took me about 2 minutes to complete. The phone will be sent...

That really sucks. Yep return it, but for sure get another, they are an excellent smartwatch.

A new Huawei watch might only have incremental advances rather than anything completely innovative and "must-have", as it is already well featured. I only use my Huawei at work (so, 5 days a week) and there I would find it indispensable; but that's my usage - as a "tool watch". Personally...

Looks great! But, Month/Day/Year... nope.

+1 for Stay Lit Wear. One of those apps where you think "Why is this not a standard feature?" Since using it I've found little reduction in battery life. I always get two days from my Huawei Watch. Could probably push to 3 days if I changed my brightness settings and usage habits, but...

Mine came through a few days ago (Sydney, Australia), a notification appeared on the watch and it updated quite quickly - maybe 10 minutes including updating the app settings. Then the watch crashed, big time, yesterday. Froze on the Stopwatch screen. Eventually got it going, with a full...
