Good for you bro...

But for me, the single sim is a deal breaker.

Google should've been more sensitive to the Indian market.

It was available for 39k for crying out loud ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohit25:
I feel you brother... Google should have also given extra off to the less fortunate... And given some free to our mantris.... They should have also added 9 sim slots... Because ravan...

They should have partnered with micromax... Bcuz make in India....

They should have made the screen 42inch... Bcuz I needed a TV..

They should have given 10gms gold free... Becaise why not.??.

You do realise that in Europe and America, dual sim phones are still not a regular thing. People there don't use multiple numbers or change their numbers often.

Companies do make different variants of the same mobile for different markets... It's not unheard of...

I mean, dual SIM is not 10gms of gold.. but still
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nikhil.agrawal:
It's also not oxygen. And the companies who makes different variants of a same phone for different markets are essentially the ones that keep on releasing 20-30 phones a year.

Not oxygen but common sense.

With the first batch of pixels last year, many in India complained that it wasn't a dual SIM phone.

Google could've done it... And they should've this time around...

you always make my day with your comments :eek::D
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nikhil.agrawal:
A company works for the biggest target or serving market. Their main market doesn't require a feature so they won't implement it. Doesn't matter what a few want and what could have been done. Even if you go around and survey people in India, many would say they don't need a dual sim phone. It's a convenient feature for some but not at all necessary.

It is there ! Just follow step by step as I said earlier. The trick works and it survives reboot as well. The toggle is gone now after a reboot but it is permanently turned off.

Thanks to everyone for their support on OP5T vs Pixel 2. I ended up purchasing the Pixel 2XL and I'm pretty happy with it so far.

I brought 2 Pixel's from the US.

I have another Google Pixel 2 XL (Just Black, 64 GB) which is sealed and I want to sell it.

I will probably never buy another Android other than the Pixel, but it's guaranteed that I will never buy another Pixel within the first month of launch ever. Google has lost all credibility for me. Resale won't be 20K a year from now.

This looks awesome. Was wondering why not try the reverse panda?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
I don't think there is any further drop in the pixel 2 prices. It is the same INR 49999 since the Flipkart sale. Though, people who bought in the FK sale got it a litter cheaper as compared to now. (50-10=40K)

If they are handing out loan devices and doing a home pickup and drop off, I'm more than happy with it. In Delhi it can be a whole day activity just to go to a service centre.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] drtushar:
Well my experience with Google support has been terrible.

I don't stay in a metro city ( have fresh air to breathe for now). Called up Google support it took 45 min to connect. Handed over the phone to my assistant and carried on with my work.

The Lady on the other side connected me to the support engineer who took over remote access of my phone and did all what I had done before. He came to the conclusion that the microphone is fu***d up and needs repair. The pick up was arranged within 2 days by their courier partner.

Got a pick up letter, bubble wrap and a box 1 week later. Was told to fill the form factory reset the device and keep it ready in the box for pick up.

No response or call for the next 10 days. After repeated calling.

In between flipkart launched pixel 2 and was offering 19k for my pixel as a buy back.

Went for that option and got my pixel 2 for the exuberant price.

Moral of the story.... If ur not in a metro city don't expect anything. Replacement handset for time being is out of question.

Just have fresh air to breathe and carry on....
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohit25:
Hmm... Metro and non-metro issues surely.... But I'll take that nighttime view and clean air over anything.... Love going to Rishikesh for that exact reason..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] goti(0):
I really think it's time Google should come with options like whether anyone want refund for the device or replacement straight away no question asked that will the appropriate solution in my opinion because all these RMA customers support service centre are just way to force their faulty device on us... look at Apple's issue at least they have admitted what they doing whatever happens after their action is upto customers but in case of google we have no choice at all.

so now you got replacement or they just repaired the speakers and what's the status of speakers
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohit25:
Got replacement... Brand new..

Also don't think a direct refund will be good at least in India.... We have a lot of arseholes who will ruin that system like they did on FK and Amazon... What google needs is to be more communicative... Proactive.... On the heels type

I swear there was a toggle to turn off shutter sound. I toggled it off and now no sound when I click photos. And now can't see it in settings. WTF !

Yeah, takes a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time to connect, but they do take time to listen to your issues and take remote to solve. The B2X guy who came to my house was very courteous, not the usual assholes whom you see in service centers. Took 8-9 days, and they couldn't replicate the issue, but still all stakeholders involved seemed decent and not the scammy types (got a loaner Nexus 5X when they took the phone).

Anybody interested in Whitestone Dome Glass for P2XL ? (Check here for installation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NB0ssnD08PU&feature=youtu.be)

Seems to be the only TG which is edge to edge (not curved though).

What options do we have to get it from the US ? Afraid of getting it via SnS etc as it's a glass and there are high chances of damage.

Remember Amazon stopped giving refunds on mobiles for the same reason. Indians misuse these privileges a lot.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] goti(0):
but this can not be justified if the device is having serious issues.... at least they can ease the RMA process so that we dont have 2 weeks to get replacement there is nothing wrong in demanding timely replacement what you guys say.

Merry Christmas to everyone. :)

Just came back to the base after a week long trip to attend a Friend's wedding. Pixel 2XL's camera was the talking point and I was made the official mobile photographer :laugh:

And last week my friend dropped his Pixel2 (which had no case/bumper) from a decent height and ended up cracking the top glass panel at 2 places around the corners. The phone itself and its camera work flawlessly but I'm concerned if the cracks would mean that the phone isn't waterproof anymore. I have never been in a similar situation and have no idea if the waterproofing is altered by cracks to the outer panel. I'm interested in knowing your thoughts.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nitin.chobhe:
Lol... Did you ask it there? I didn't see that :)

Try clean flash of yesterday's build (link in recent pages), it works (Otherwise there would have been hundreds of posts in the thread ;))

imo best option now is to use your favourite skin and apply it in one go then just leave it on the other hand if the cracks are small then im sure pixel 2 can handle it easily rest is up to you
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Prattham:
I was using stuffcool tempered glass and have to say it sucked so bad

I couldn't use it with my spigen rugged armor nor fosso case

Today finally decided to use it with fosso case and well it peeled off perfectly on its own and when i tried to apply it again it broke

Worst purchase ever

Please recommend a tempered glass that works with the spigen rugged armor

Cheers ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] numerouknow:
I had ordered a 2d/3d full screen tempered glass from stuffcool. I received a call from them to confirm if I use any case. I told them I'm using Spigen Rugged Armor and she right away said that the product I ordered is not compatible with the case I'm using. And she canceled my order without further discussion.

I couldn't find a good TG protector for P2XL. I'm using one that I purchased from an offline mobile shop. It doesn't cover the curved edges. Not a permanent solution.

If you feel that a skin will help in keeping the phone waterproofed, I'll suggest my friend to order one from gadgetshieldz. Thanks.

25 USD with front and back both

Expensive but I will trust rhinosheild using it on my X simply awesome
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] numerouknow:
Its mentioned in the image that the protector is not edge to edge. If that's the case then chances are dust would accumulate below the edges of the front cover. That has been the issue with almost all tempered glass protectors that don't cover the curved edges.

Share your feedback once you start using it. Good luck. :good:

Edit:

It also says curved glass (but not edge to edge). Hope it solves the issue with most tempered glasses.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] vd1900:
I was not looking for an edge to edge as I will be using the rhinosheild crash guard bumper ... Lets hope it will be best will surely share my experience when I get it
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] numerouknow:
Valid point.

I thought twice before ordering, but I was more inclined towards getting something anti-fingerprint/smudge-free.

Will have to see how big a difference matte finish would make in terms of color & brightness.

The rhinoshield tempered glass has adhesive on the edges only... So there will be rainbow effect in the middle... Due to no adhesion over there...

Hi guys,

Really confused whether to get Oneplus 5T or Pixel 2 XL. Budget is not an issue as this will be a company expense ???.

OP5T

PROS

Screen

Dual sim (major)

Design (imo)

Additional RAM

CONS

Camera

Lack of long term support

Pixel 2 xl:

PROS

Camera

Stock android

Updates

CONS

Screen issues

Burn in issues

No dual sim

Any thoughts? Usually a nexus user... Last 2 phones have been Nexus 6P and Nexus 5 (both outstanding).
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Prattham:
There is no comparison between the two i mean i don't even understand the logic behind comparing the two

Pixel 2 XL for sure man no comparison
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Zinger17:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] srinivas2901:
Optimized os, guranteed updates, 2 year warranty, awesome camera. Great battery. Pixel 2 xl if price is not an issue. If you plan change every 6 months then OnePlus.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] drtushar:
My friend u are asking this question in pixel forum where many would recommend you pixel.

But if u ask me i would say consider both phones logically. Pixel is a superb phone no doubt but getting ordinary screen with such hefty primium is not justified at any cost. The only thing that keeps me carry pixel is the camera. It's awesome to say the least.

Oneplus 5t is the phone to get for the price. It's as fluid as pixel with that 8 GB of ram. It's nearly pure Android as oxygen OS is very light and non intrusive.

Screen is excellent next to only the note 8.

Camera is decent. And a big plus is its dual sim capability.

Battery life is as good as pixel. Many would argue on this but trust me i use both phones every day and oneplus has amazing battery life. The dash charger is best in the business.

So fix ur priority and grab any one of the two, u wont repent. That's for sure
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dvsk69:
For me the biggest selling points are the awesome cameras and unlimited storage until Jan 2021 at full resolution. How awesome is that!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohit25:
My honest answer.... Jio phone... Does everything better.... U can make a call... Send messages .... Or u can get a Nokia 3310

Edit.. Was rude before.... Go for Note 8
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] numerouknow:
I have both OP5T (8GB) & P2XL. In terms of real life performance they are identical. Google's software & hardware combo makes up for the lack of 4 extra gigs of RAM.

For less than 40k, OP5T is unbeatable but if one is in the market for the latest & greatest (with no money constraints) then they should definitely buy the P2.

---------- Post added at 06:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 PM ----------

Totally agree.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rkial:
Well. People here bought the 2XL over the OP5T despite it costing twice as much, so the views here will obviously be pro Pixel. And I wouldnt disagree. I think its a better phone.

The screen is nowhere near as bad as some articles made it seem. There was a lot of moaning for a couple of weeks and now that has gone away.

The burn in is no worse than any OLED. Will be the same for OP5T.

If you arent paying for it, then its basically about the dual sim and headphone jack.

If those are deal breakers, the choice obviously has to be the OP5T. if you are fine without those, the 2XL is better.... just a better phone.
