2018 Google Pixel 3 and 3XL...😗🎉😵

[bryant_16]

I don't think I'll do that. But nice to know it does turn off when face down.



Mine 2h45m with 43% left.

Yes, battery is not very ideal for this. Hopefully Google will come up with a software fix for this..

I'm not that lucky after all. I did some more tests and noticed that my panel has an uneven tint too. It's not nearly as bad as your first unit, and one would really have to look a bit for it, but it's definitely there, - reddish at the bottom and greenish at the top. Most noticeable on grey backgrounds on low brightness.

I'm thinking of trying my luck with the exchange, but also concerned that the exchanged unit will be even worse.

Oh man. sorry to hear that. it depends if it's something that you think will affect your usage? For me I use with low brightness very frequently, and some the apps I use with grey/dark backgrounds + Night light makes uneven tint very obvious, so for me i'll probably try my luck.

BUT... another thing is that you have to deal with the staff at the shop, which may not even notice the tint. Some people are just less sensitive to colours.

I think for normal day to day usage I probably wouldn't notice, but my OCD's kicking in lol especially when I tried the grey backgrounds from the Display Tester app and that grey wallpaper you posted.

I think the bigger question will be - will the staff allow you the choice of keeping the original unit IF the replacement unit's display turns out to be worse? If not, it's probably too big of a risk to take.

No idea man. Best thing is to book an appt at singtelshop and ask lor. I mean if they don't let you keep original unit, just say the new unit looks worse, so is defective also. Means should be able to open another set. Cannot be they force you to accept a defective product.

64GB just black unit.

For those that ordered from SG Google store. please check your unbilled credit card amount,I got charged SGD$1412 instead of SGD1399 (per the invoice value).

Later will call bank to find out more. Since this is transacted in Singapore, there is no currency deviation problem.

I copy the top part of the screen to overlay the bottom part using photoshop. can see the slight uneven tint. Actually even without this I could tell the difference liao.

I can't really see the uneven tint. This may be dismissed as falling within the acceptable (and normal) variance.

But then again, it may be more obvious in real life. Anyway, good luck to you still!

Hahaha ya that's the thing.. how to Photoshop at the shop..

MIC issue? U mean when taking video one?

I have issue with the volume of notification/ring/alarm, do you have that? It's kinda soft for me, youtube/fb videos are ok though.



yeah, I know that new phone need to wait a few days to adjust. So while adjusting, should I leave AD on to try out? Or it doesn't matter during the adjustment?

Hahah my unit is 3XL 128 so maybe it's an unfair comparison but I still haven't got my phone so I can't provide you with much information

Anyway, for cases if you don't wanna spend that much you can consider qoo10. There's some cheap tpu cases. I ordered one for my 3XL and it seems to be quick thick. Might be good for your handling

haha. yeah. Not everyone's eyesight is the same, and some people are just not as sensitive to slight variance in colour. Like this type of tests (https://www.xrite.com/hue-test). haha.

So yeah... they might dismissed it as falling within acceptable variance, which is why i really hate this type of screen issue in particular. Cause it may be acceptable to them, but it might not be acceptable to someone who's sensitive and particular about this type of thing.

I just posted the same issue on my 64GB unit but only SGD13 more.

Use the SMS sent to you when you order the phone and the Tax Invoice from Store Ordering history as proof of this. I think Google Store has hidden cost, sine this is SGD to SGD deal..there should not have discrepancy .

Guys just give the battery a week lah. It will get better after a few charging cycles, please don't ownself scare ownself. Battery conditioning is a real thing and not a myth.

How did you test it? I don't know how to do the test.

Currently, it looks ok to me.

Yeah, will do.. I 3 years + never change phone liao, from Nexus 5x to now.
