Great response from Google and yet another reason that software before hardware works so well for the Pixel brand. Function over form! You can adjust things OTA, but you can't move bad placement of a Fingerprint Scanner no matter what!

Random off-topic question here but I'll ask because I recognize a bunch of you from the LG G6 forum . . I'm wondering about the front firing speakers, it would seem to me that if I were holding the 2XL in landscape mode I would be covering the speakers with my thumb, have any of you experienced that? Thanks (I live far enough from a Verizon store that it will be next week before I can play with one) . . .

I just saw a story about this and a link to the proof. Google are extending the warranty on its latest phones.

Awesome news! Even though my phone has been fine, this still gives me a sigh of relief. Team Pixel all day.

I'm extremely happy for these updates. my panda xl2 ships Nov 20th and now I'm excited again. The 2 year warranty alone is amazing bc if we do get burn in they have to provide us with a replacement.

Maybe it's just me, but when I hold the phone in landscape mode, my thumb is NEVER on the screen - I hold by the edges with my pinky and index finger on the edges and my other two fingers on the back of the device. But I did just test it, and the speakers are further to the edge than what you need for leverage to hold and balance the phone - so in other words, you won't cover the speakers...

Not crazy about them making the screen any dimmer but I'm happy they'll implement a saturated screen mode so quickly. The two year warranty is just icing on the cake for me since i ordered mine about an hour before they announced this. Feeling much better about my decision to try the xl over the note now.

My xl arrived today. Seriously I do not see what the fuss has been about. Screen looks great, colors are what you should expect if you ever ran sRGB in the OG Pixel and look great to my eye, the bright in your face colors of other phones can be garish and the blue tint on tilt of screen issue made me chuckle when I saw for myself what a non issue it is.

Again all to my liking others have their own opinions and I respect that.

And now I get a two year warranty, a great phone just got greater.

So where is the huge AC article on Google doing the right thing almost instantly? Like no other device manufacturer has ever done before?

Cool

This phone just keeps getting better.
2 year warranty and soon to be enabled hidden chip for camera, I wonder what else we can expect. Icing on top of icing on the cake.

Slow clap. This should silence the haters. Never seen Apple respond this way. Which is why I love Google. They take care of their customers. Brian and Marquess were right to say this stuff was asinine to begin with.

Apple extended the original Apple watch warranty because the battery might swell. They've also done it for at least one model of computer too.
