    XL2 has a curved screen.

    It's the screen too. Not just the glass Open something like Gmail, or even this comment page will do. Look at the phone from the side like your looking at the SIM tray and notice how far past 180° you can see the screen. Or even just real close along the edge and notice how the glare distorts...

    XL2 has a curved screen.

    I've not seen this mentioned anywhere, but has anyone else noticed that the screen on the XL 2 curves down around the side bezels ever so slightly? Not nearly to the degree as a Galaxy phone, but definitely noticable when you look at the phone from the side at an oblique angle. Very subtle...

    Weather widget update

    ...and our widget drama continues. Heard there was a server side update that will actually give us the Moon at night with the weather widget when appropriate. It's cloudy in NYC now, so I can't tell on mine. Definitely sunny last night though. Lmk, 🖖

    Anybody NOT using screen protector?

    I second that!!! Don't ever use Alcohol wipes, purell, etc... No protection here. My favorite thing about the latest smart phones is how thin the glass looks, like the colors are all right on top. I could care less about bezels. The S7 edge was terrible for me. I love to just grab ahold of...

    Pixel Hardware in the future

    I agree that they'll want to keep a familiar design language from year to year, but I think there are two important things to remember: Like it's been said, the Pixel was completed in 9 months after a supposed deal with Huawei fell through, thank God. (Sidebar: I loved my 6P as much as the...

    How big a deal is speaker issue?

    So true. Even if they kept it mono and just spun the speaker that's there 90° in our direction and gave us a matching speaker grill on the much maligned bottom bezel. The pad under my fingers blocks sound when I hold the phone in landscape. My wife loves this! It's honestly my only design...

    How big a deal is speaker issue?

    One more thing. The S7 edge seems louder to me during a regular phone call compared to the Pixel when both are at maximum volume levels. Unscientific research that it is.

    Fluidity of the pixel?

    My S7 edge is put to shame by my Pixel. 5X was bootlooped so I got a new in box S7 edge loaner from T-Mobile, so this wasn't an issue of built up lag over months of use as sometimes happens. S7 stuttered a lot compared to even my 5X, but compared to the Pixel it's laughable. Fourth day with...

    How big a deal is speaker issue?

    Andrew, I have my S7 Edge right here next to my Pixel. No pun intended, but the Pixel speaker is clearly louder.

    tried the update, still no weather widget.

    Solved! Thanks all. For what it's worth, I found my solution in one of two things -The "everything else" toggles. Mine were actually turned on, but it said I had turned them on two years ago. I toggled off, then back on. I also force stopped the launcher in App Info. Went back to home screen...

    In this settings menu? I can't find any option to enable weather options. Thanks!!
