From the Disney store. For those asking if the P2XL is still worth it, I sure think so.Disney.jpg
 
Wow! The Honor looks like it takes pretty good pictures. It got all the fur detail.

It was a very good camera. I loved my Honor 8. It was a spectacular phone. It was a mid-range phone but it packed a wallop.
 
So did you get rid of it?

Nope, I kept it as a backup when I got my Pixel 2. My husband used it for a spell when his iPhone SE broke. It's a great phone! I'd go for Huawei/Honor again but because of the débâcle with them and the US, I'm hesitating. Otherwise, Honor makes awesome phones.

At least you know you got a good backup :)
 
I love her little paws and legs and all the markings on them. And her little toes, too! I can't get enough of how cute she is.

Just picked up a Pixel 2 XL for $190 after getting fed up with Bixby on my Galaxy S8+. Running everything stock, as with the pure version of Android, I don't feel much need to install launchers, icon packs, widgets, and so on. Pixel phones are so good at doing what Android is supposed to do that I don't think I'll ever go back, and I was a major Samsung fan for years.

Congratulations on your new Pixel 2 XL! And what a wonderful deal you got too! What colour and storage size did you get?

That is my favourite Pixel 2 wallpaper! I love it so much! My homescreen/lockscreen are almost always camera shots because the Pixel 2 camera is so amazing - but every now and again, I will switch to this one for my homescreen wallpaper.

Cool! If you want a cool dark living wallpaper the Earth one (name has the word marble in it I think?) is really mesmerizing as well.

Also, one terrible thing about the Pixel Launcher that has just been fixed is having to go to the top of the screen to swipe down for notifications. Google just released an APK in anticipation of Pixel 4 that works perfectly on my 2xl and the ONLY difference from what I experience and have read is that you can now swipe down anywhere on the screen for notifocations. To me, this is an even bigger deal than Dark Mode. Lol

I got the just black. I work in a very dusty environment, and even in a case, white would show dirt pretty badly. Best thing I like about the camera is it is SO DANG QUICK!! It snaps almost instantly, and takes almost no time to process the image. And the end result is a photo that is very crisp with great detail and very little color skewing. This thing is every bit as good as the shooters on many of 2018 and 2019 releases.

Oh yes, I have that page bookmarked for when I am ready to try that. I am a little afraid of messing something up, so I'm gonna wait a bit before I do it. But I am going to get around to it for sure in the near future.
