    Anybody get a problem free display?

    No problems here. I keep at 40% to 50% brightness to reduce eyestrain, and at that setting the blue shift is not very severe at all. I have seen no uneven splotches or grain at very low brightness, nor do I have even a hint of burn in/image retention. I do think the sRGB tuning is the right...

    Is preferred care worth it? (assume you have the credit card 2x warranty)

    Cheap one (what I ordered) https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B073CC16M1/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1507313259&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=pixel+2+xl+screen+protector&dpPl=1&dpID=41pGrOjLQ3L&ref=plSrch&tag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6007772 More expensive, but nowhere near...

    Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL Pre Order / Shipping Discussion

    Re: Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL Pre Order Thread Panda 2XLs are slow to ship, as they are essentially backordered, and have to come on a boat from China before being shipped. Black are likely sitting in a warehouse near you, or already on an inbound ship, and fewer people want them. If you...

    Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL

    2 XL. I own the Nexus 6P. and the overall dimensions are not far off, so it will just be like slapping a wider screen on the phone.

    Hell no. Put a tempered glass protector on it for a fraction of the cost, and call it a day.

    What phone are you switching from to the Pixel 2?

    Nexus 6P that was preordered when it launched. Has undergone a delicate operation to replace the battery, that used to die at 20%. Can now get down to 0%, but alas way too quickly. It looks beautiful, unlike the beat up Nexus 5 it replaced, but the rare random reboots have plagued it from the...

    Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL Pre Order / Shipping Discussion

    Re: I just ordered my Pixel 2 Ordered the just black 128 GB while the event was going on. Ships by October 18th and arrives by October 23rd. The black and while looked good, but couldn't be ordered at the time I checked. It can now, but has 7-8 week wait time before shipping. I don't want to...

    Things You Don't Like About The 6P?

    Power on the right, volume up/down on the left would have been perfect. That's the Nexus way, because Nexus 4 and 5 were like this, and it was good.

    Cases for the Nexus 6P

    Just took off the Verus and put on the Moko clear case. I really like how my Aluminum phone shows itself off in the Moko. The Verus is clearly thicker, and more protective of the two. It also has better buttons than the Moko, but I like them both. Once my Fitbag leather pouch gets here, I...

    Cases for the Nexus 6P

    The Verus case on amazon is a near complete clone of Spigen neo hybrid. If you order now, they may send you one with a smaller than necessary charger port, and a replacement later. If you get the early version, you may have to temporarily file down the top and bottom of the bumper for the...

    I RETURNED my 6P ... will you too?

    People who are complaining of a pink or yellow hue likely have no clue what a 6500 K white point (which is the standard) looks like. I am not saying there is not an issue with some phones being bad, but likely some people are not used to the, proper, and warmer than ugly, white point, and think...

    Cases for the Nexus 6P

    That is good case, even with the issues with the too small charging port. I have been very happy after I took a nail file to the bumper. I am usually not a fan of any case, but this is one of the few not wanting me to toss it in the trash can immediately.
