What does non activated mean? I live in HK and will probably try to buy the Pixel 4XL from Best Buy as I suspect I can get it faster than from Google. Can I safely order the non activated version and it'll be unlocked for any carrier in the world? (once the $200 off deal goes live?)

Yes, sorry for not being clearer. The screen - can we adjust the resolution downwards?

Is it possible to dial back the resolution on the Pixel 4 to 1080p? That might help the battery issues. I'm not sure personally I can really tell the difference between the quad HD and HD.

What is good screen on time? I get around 4.5 hours with my P2XL. I always have to top up the phone at lunchtime unless I'm at work when I barely have time to use the thing.

The problem is that it's only 2x, not 3 or even 5x, as Marcus points out. So it doesn't make a huge difference. Seems that every year Google do something that puts a big downer on the phone. This year it's reduced battery life, missing the ultra wide camera, and a meh telefoto lens. Maybe you...

Why is no one mentioning the free original quality photos and video storage? Just upload all your past photos to your phone. Upload to Google photos. Delete. Repeat process. Hey presto. Your entire photo and video collection backed up forever. This is worth a lot by itself. Is the Pixel...

I have a Nexus 6p and I'm seriously considering switching to the G6. Today I picked one up in the shop and I noticed that the screen length is about the same as the 6p's but it is less wide. I'm happy with the overall size of my 6p so in reality, the G6 (and S8) actually have *reduced*...

What does the premium version have that makes it worth buying? I've been using the free nova launcher for years. Just curious!

My SwiftKey comes gets laggy, really laggy. I have to force quit the app I'm typing in or switch to gboard. No idea why.

Dire placement of the fingerprint sensor.

My battery is basically dead or getting close to it. Phone shuts down anywhere between 30% and 19% In mid April I went to the Huawei service place in Singapore where I live and they told me they had no batteries in stock and I'd need to wait 2 weeks. So I waited two weeks then called their...

The LG G6 looks like a better phone than the S8 to me. The flawed unlocking system on the Galaxy is a deal breaker. You have to unlock your phone hundreds of times a day.

Seems like Samsung needs to fix the stutters and the fingerprint sensor and Google, to enlarge the screen and then we'd have two perfect phones.

Sadly where I live you can't return phones. I like the G6 camera and the ratio and the flat screen. I'm hoping Google top it in the autumn I guess otherwise I might be tempted. But then again... slower to get Android updates. Sigh.

Netflix's new, original content is all in 18:9. It could be the future. "The 2013 Netflix original series House of Cards, The 2017 Netflix original series A Series of Unfortunate Events (TV series)[10] and the 2014 Amazon original series Transparent as well as the 2016 Netflix original series...
