2018 Google Pixel 3 and 3XL...😗🎉😵

[badmalebitch]

I've placed an order on 10th Oct. Situation same like some of the guys here decribed. Early adopters lose out.

At first status stating delay.

Then on Monday suddenly changed to shipped with DHL tracking number.

Been checking since and DHL still showing phone not shipped. SMLJ!

Just spoken to Google CSO 2 mins ago and after putting me on hold for 5 mins, CSO said just wait until end of today. Sales Specialist said this might be a case of DHL not updating their website as on Google's side, they are seeing the order has been processed and it is currently with DHL.

So I think for now, just wait and cross fingers.

I need the phone as my 2 yo Original Pixel has about 15 mins battery life from full charge.

Same here, once they told me that Fedex was doing the delivery instead of DHL.

At times I even wonder whether the phone left the production facility at all...

Is the skinomi one a tempered glass? If it is, just be prepared that it's going to be lousy.

Not its not, its the wet applied TPU type. I haven't been using these for quite a while. It's just stop-gap until a good tempered glass one shows up.

 

[badmalebitch]

For cases, I would recommend the usual suspects. SPIGEN, Ringke, Nillkin, etc.

For screens? Sorry man, nothing in the market I've seen so far matches the quality I am looking for. So far the ones in the market right now are plain garbage, don't adhere to the screen properly. If I see a good one I'll recommend it straight away here. For now just buy a cheap one and pray it doesn't come off.

I got the SPIGEN one, was thinking of trying out others, maybe will check out the other brands you recommended.

I bought skinomi screen protector and spigen rugged armor off Amazon. It's been sitting at home for a week waiting for the phone. I'll do a quick review if the phone arrives today.

Will await for the review.

Patience.. I think the phone is on its way and most likely Google cannot do much about it.

Yeah I guess, I should not be complaining as those who are waiting for the white device got it worse.

It seems like the delays are only for the white and pink units. Black units are readily available at D day.

Man, I hate those wet applied ones. First week it feels ok. After that the touch layer become rubbery and got this squeaky feel which I absolutely hate. That was my experience 2 years ago, not sure if it has improved.

Readily available on launch day at the telcos only.... And not Google Store itself....

 

[Glariel]

Screen protectors maybe can wait for Whitestone to release

 

[Jescowalker]

I think most people had a misunderstanding that only telcos will carry the phone lah.


Yes. As long as it's not a export set, so buy from a reputable retailer.

warranty from who , google or the store itself ?

 

[Jazzzzzz6]

Oh yes. Singtel just delivered my pixel stand.

 

[wizardmao]

Naked gorilla glass 5 the best

Not until you drop it though

Hmm so those who bought the black unit from Google store also delayed?

Google lah, not the store. Bring the unit to our local service centre.

Spigen rugged armor for small pixel 3 is working as intended. No surprises. Bought off spigen sg online store.

Side note: did anyone who got charged extra by the bank manage to get it waived? I also tio additional 2.8% administrative fee for buying my pixel 3 64gb black off google sg store. Quite pissed because the phone end up costing S$1283.97 instead of S$1249

You should just call and make noise. This hidden charge is unacceptable, I'll not be buying anything expensive from Google Store.

So much extra? Mine is 126x I think.

Just received an SMS from DHL saying my phone will be delivered today. Fulfilled by Expansys.

DHL tracking website also updated, albeit missing the journey details from HK to SG.

That's normal. Anyway it means it'll be delivered by today. I got the SMS too.

Tonight I draw my oled screen lottery.
