2018 Google Pixel 3 and 3XL...😗🎉😵

[omelet]

So I'm not the only one who found it so. I was playing with the demo Pixel 3 unit at the Singtel outlet at Bugis Junction and thought the display wasn't on "Boosted" mode, but I checked the Settings and it was. Seems even more dull than my Pixel 2.

You are supposed to use adaptive mode if you want vibrant colours...

Google says that the displays, when set to “Natural” mode, are purely 100% RGB compliant and “visually indistinguishable from perfect…” But not everyone wants accuracy, they want eye candy — that’s why the phones ship in “Adaptive” display mode by default, which bumps up colors and saturation but has been tuned to limit the over-saturation of skin tones and reds in particular.

I went to AliExpress and noticed most of the screen protector are curved. I guess the screen is slightly curved at the edge?

What’s the market price for teleco set sold outside?
Should be $100 or so less?

U have to find another forwarder to ship it over..

Hmmm, i think you got me wrong. moving app by app to another page i now. What mean it normally we will have lets say 3 page filled with apps so i wanna move the whole page 1 app to page 3 without moving the apps? I know iphone have this function but i cannot find this function in pixel 2.

Pls advise if anyone knows what i mean. Thanks

Dont think by default have such function.. Gotta move one by one manually

Erm, for my case it was in adaptive mode first, i saw the washed out colors then i switched to boosted colors. Still looks washed out to me.

Maybe the demo phone clonked out already.

Well, I saw some unit and thought they looked washed out as well, then looking at settings they were at boosted mode. Switching to adaptive mode make it look more vibrant...

Maybe this new adaptive mode isn't as vibrant as the saturated mode of pixel 2 xl...

last time i use the default colours for pixel xl..... after awhile i switched to the SRGB mode which is less vibrant and warmer colours..

yesterday i switch back and found the colours to be too vibrant and unrealistic, so faster switch back to SRGB again

 

[JackDulouz]

Me too.. I always on natural colours on my 2XL now. Find saturated colour too gaudy..

Was at singtel@bugis today to molest the two pixels. The notch isn't that bad and I find it acceptable although aesthetically this could be designed functionally better. In my opinion, the whole notch-gate affair is quite overblown and it is always a relative comparison. Imagine Google is the first company that implements the notch from the start or beginning, would it still garner that kind of scrutiny or criticism? Anyway just my 2 cents worth.

It is precisely Google isn’t the first, therefore should have more time for better implementation. Instead Google came out with not just the similar notch, but even bigger one which naturally turns ppl off even more since ppl already don’t really like the first notch design.

Did anyone notice the colour vibrancy, brightness and contrast on the smaller pixel is better than XL? I was comparing the two at singtel bugis and it appears the white on the smaller pixel looks whiter than XL and there is a hint of grey on the XL.
