    i bought a Pixel 3 yesterday, wondering what the best protective phone case i can purchase would be?

    Spigen 360. Thin and covers front and back by clip-on case. Comes with screen protector as well.

    Google Pixel 2 XL is not really IP67 water resistant

    Just to chip in, Sony phones support low pressure water jet and immersion. They are superior in this department. Their Xperia top end models supports both IP65/IP68.

    Battery life since Feb 5 update

    Not so shabby after the Feb update. I'd consider this heavy usage. Navigation, YouTube, 2 hours of gaming and some chats. It doesn't get warm too. I did the OTA without installing the Google Play Services beta. Mine is still version 11. I'm guessing for those who used the beta version to get...

    I have the same feeling. Last sideloaded the Jan update ending with a factory reset. The Feb update was OTA and the device feels smoother.
