So I've ordered Pixel 2XL from Flipkart for 41k.

But still, all of you long term users, if there is any big problem in it especially wrt

Battery

Heating

Speaker quality and

Airtel signal strength,

Please tell me now.

Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Prattham:
41k its available for 37k i guess and if you can get cash back then also more discount
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] samad.ansari:
no issues in any of those departments mentioned.

however if camera isnt a huge priority you could go for 6t for lesser tho
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Xebeck:
.

Thanks...

6t is gonna be the ugly ? of the Oneplus family.

Next phone will have 5g technology and better ultrasonic/3D in-display FPS.

6t users are gonna be stuck with the first gen and not so secure (to be able to use in banking) optical fps.

No?

Yellow Spot at the back on new Pixel 2 XL from Flipkart

So I replaced my OnePlus6 for new Pixel 2 XL and have this yellow spot/tint. Not sure if the picture was able to capture it right. Will Google replace this? What do you think?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Xebeck:
.

.

Why did you switch from OP6 to 2XL?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Subhojit:
Dont ask :( I am regretting it now.

The Camera app was pathetic and cant depend upon GCam ports and many features didnt work that great.

Man this 2 XL screen and build sucks. I wish I could return it, but I cant. :crying:

Now, do you have any idea/response to my query?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Xebeck:
.

.

Can't see the issue in the pics. And I don't think they'll replace for that in India atleast.

.

What did you find wrong with the screen and build of 2xl
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Subhojit:
The Amoled screen of OnePlus6 vs this? Or maybe I really got a bad device. I need to check with someone who uses this device as I am disappointed in the screen. Its so pale even on the boosted/saturated display option.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nikhil.agrawal:
The screen is bad but it's not pale at all. On saturated mode colours are very vibrant. Could be a software issue I guess. I got mine replaced due to dead spot on touchscreen and the replacement I got did had a little better screen in terms of blue shift but was still grainy and the speakers on my older one were extremely loud. You can try to rma but they won't replace your phone for a yellow spot or pale screen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] raghus.id:
Could someone suggest me budget tempered glass for pixel 2 xl online.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] samad.ansari:
thats a common issue with the panda version. The black is better in regards to durability. even mine has multiple spots, scratches, paint chipping. even though ive never dropped it. Use skins, they're amazing.

---------- Post added at 06:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 AM ----------

no tempered glass would fit completely perfectly for the picel 2 XL and without it looking ugly. The best option would be to use a screen protector from gadgetshieldz.

---------- Post added at 06:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 AM ----------

The screen does seem a bit washed out when compared with oneplus 6. I have the op6 and i prefer that more for viewing purposes. However the higher 1440p with larger battery is equally capable for day to day usage
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Xebeck:
So I'm literally gonna get Pixel 2xl by about 2PM India time.

I intend to use it for atleast 12-18 months from today.

If anyone wants to stop me because it has some dealbreaking issues, plz do so now...

I don't wanna regret my purchase.

It is quite decent. Not comparable to google assistant yet. It only recognizes english for now. It doesn't have problem with accent but if we speak a little faster, it is a hit or miss. Still its pretty cool to have.

Buttery smoothness of 2xl is on another level.

Mine still says order is being processed. XL Black 128 gigs. [MENTION=918582]guys[/MENTION] who's order is shipped/ready to be shipped - what's your location?

I live in gurgaon so I guess they're first shipping to those living farther away from delhi.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rkial:
Thats possible. I am in Mumbai. Its at Mahipalpur sort facility now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nikhil.agrawal:
I'm in Delhi too. I just received an email that my order has been shipped. In Mahipalpur sorting facility.

Mahipalpur is like 10km away from my house. So close yet so far :P

Anyway.

What's your variant?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rkial:
JB 64gb/

Does anyone have any experience with Flipkart exchange? Does the delivery person pick the phone up as well? Or will someone come later to pick it up?

ie, Do I need to reset my phone and be ready at the time of delivery?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohit3221:
Yep. They'll pick it up at the same time. So keep your phone ready.

So I guess they've started shipping 64gb variants first.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nikhil.agrawal:
Ya I've exchanged a couple of phones previously, it's better you reset it in advance and you don't need to give them any accessories even if they ask for it. Just tell them you don't have it. They collect your old phone, get a form signed by you and hand you over the new one.

Two minute queries-

1. Is the top speaker about 20 percent-ish lower in volume than the bottom one?

2. Recording a video for about 9-10 mins got the temp of the battery to 40.7°C when the ambient temperature outside is 24 °C.

Although it has fallen down very quickly after that but is it normal?

Thanks.

Actually this time Pixel3 smaller one looks good. Perfect balance. If Camera is priority then nothing beats pixel but apart from that op6t is a good phone. Only thing is the slow fingerprint hardware they have used. Reports are that its not consistent. But you can use face unlock.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Prattham:
Yea i would say it works 8 out of 10 times for me because i know how to use it

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nikhil.agrawal:
I got 6t for my mother and it does looks good but camera is plain awful even when compared to my pixel 2 xl. the details on 6t are awful. it also doesn't feel as fluid as pixel when using it. it will get better with updates but even with gcam it won't be anywhere around pixel which is something most of its buyers know being it half the price of pixel as well.

Hi All,

Vodafone Volte doesn't seems to working fine on my 2XL. I am in Bangalore circle. Whenever i call someone, LTE converts to hspa bands and often after the call its switches back to LTE or hunts back for a signal and many times there is no signal at all.

Is there any download package that can be side loaded to enable it?

Moreover i don't see any of the google phones being compatible with Vodafone volte in their website.

When i messaged "4G CHECK" to 199 , i got a reply that only 4g is supported not volte and i need to upgrade to a different phone.

Regards

I'm not spamming, So I got my hands on some Google Pixel 2 XL devices (actually 8 nos.) which were shipped here on 29th of August 2017 (Pixel 2 XL released on first week of Oct 2017)These devices are up for auctions by the Customs department and I'am thinking to buy them however I have some doubts regarding the DVT sticker and "Not for Sale" marking on back-panel. I have some pics from inspection. It would be really great if you could help me out in buying decision.

My main doubts are:

1.	Can build no. be changed after a normal update ? (i guess yes, but still looking for a sure answer)

2.	Will it be a good deal to get them at 40% of the present retail price ? (I mean will people would like to own a Pixel 2 XL @ 40 to 50% discounted rate, 'cause "Not for Sale" is mentioned on back-panel)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] goti(0):
so basically you are saying for 35000 will someone buy the device that have not for sale on box and also no warranty where for 40000 one can buy on flipkart with warranty... is this not spamming then what will be in your opinion?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rasi_rana:
I didn't said Rs. 35000. I mentioned discount on present retail price, which we all know is around 45K for 64GB variant. So this brings my price @ 22K for same.

So I don't think it's spamming. I'm just asking your views, like one would be ready to buy or not at such price.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Prattham:
You may find some guys but i dont really think anyone would like it, personally I won't

Hell i paid extra for extending my warranty for my Op6t

Also do share the address for the auction.. maybe I can snag a iPad or a OLED TV...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rasi_rana:
Main concern is about the Build No. I mean could we change build no. in such devices or not ? I have no idea about it.
