Managed to take a few comparison shots this morning. Almost similar camera performance.

Anyone using pixel 2 XL here before upgrading to 3 XL. Is the screen size the same after the notch option is disabled?

I did call to ask what to do. they said just go nearest singtelshop. Had to wait like 2+hours. Super long queue. Recommend book appointment online if you can.

BTW here's another photo to show my first set. You see the rectangles on the right side can see the difference between top part of the screen and the bottom part. Using photoshop eyedropper tool (select the colour from the part of the image i click) to create a rectangle. Top rectangle is top of screen, bottom is bottom of screen. Pink and green. lol. :s13:

Thanks for your reply, I have booked an appointment for tomorrow at singtel shop, just in case I need to exchange my pixel 3. Will be collecting it tomorrow from popstation.

I am hoping for the best.

This one looks good :D Gxgx Alex bro!
Awaiting ur review, got hokkien one mah this time round?

haha. nowadays not much time for singlish version. hokkien is cannot one. My hokkien half pail water. Hahaha. But i won't be doing a full review liao. I said some time ago on this thread that if I get a bad display, I would just skip this generation of Pixel liao. Maybe 3 XL eventually, but for now I am avoiding the Pixel 3. 3 weeks of pre-order just to get a bad display. This is something that no one should be worried about when buying a new phone, especially not at this price point. Sure, still got recourse, can swap. But I end up with a colour i don't want, and wasting hours of my time.

We don't know the exact percentage of bad displays of course, but considering I've not seen anyone complaining about this issue on the 3 XL, I'll say that it's higher than it should be.

I'll still do like a quick hands on video, but that's about it. Will stick with Pixel 2. At this point, my personal recommendation is to avoid the smaller Pixel 3 until Google acknowledges the issue and promise to improve their QC. There are units out there with good display as well (since the replacement looks fine), but is it really worth the trouble? haha. I don't think it is. And this is coming from a self-professed Pixel fanboy. :s13:

Glad the 3XL +touch wood+ so far it's okay.
It's the identity swap from previous gen. -_-

Why stick with Pixel 2 when you've already gotten the 3? Then what's your plan with the 3? Haha
