2018 Google Pixel 3 and 3XL...😗🎉😵

[Aibyoka]

For those of you who ordered from Singtel and are supposed to receive the Pixel Stand as well as the Pixel Case, have you guys have had any trouble redeeming it?

TYIA.

I just took the phone from POPSTATION and I didn't receive it with the Pixel Stand and case. Just the phone. I wonder why. Hmm..

Vulpix, I saw Kasia Mobile posting that they are selling stocks White Pixel 3XL 128GB at $1260 yesterday!

It's finally time for Vulpix to strike LOL.

If you need more information, go refer to the posts that are near the launch date of the device. You'll find tons of discussions on this issue.

You're not the only one. Quite a few encountered this too. Apparently the transaction is not being processed in SG, and the fulfilment is done by Expansys HK? At least that's what I recall.

Very unfair i feel as it's really not our problem where fulfillment was done or where payment was arranged. It was not made known to us and we only pay for what we see on the Google Store. I wrote in to both Citi and Google.

Very good review on our Pixels!

StarHub overhauled the plans so can't really compare but you can still take a look at the launch pricings based on the old plans and try to guesstimate.

The 12.12 deal for Pixel 3 is discount + free upgrade to 128GB (for White) + free Google Home.

Dam attractive.

would be nice to be able to get this without a plan
- but that's not possible right?

Get the Pixel 3 128GB white without a plan? Carousell got plenty of ppl who got from StarHub selling. Haha

When the Pixel 3 phones were first launched, neither Singtel nor StarHub carried Pixel 3 in 128GB configuration. Now Singtel carries it in Not Pink, whereas StarHub carries it in Clearly White.

yea thinking of getting for fiancee
+ the free upgrade to 128GB
+ Google Home
makes it very attractive

brought my Google Pixel 3XL to Hong Kong - loved it
the wide-angle front camera (almost) makes selfie sticks redundant!

was trying to convince my friends to move away from iPhone XS but oh well (shrugs)

used my Google Pixel 3XL as a camera (couldn't transfer over from my Pixel 2XL in time for the trip lol)
- which I got from Qoo10/RedWhite Mobile at 1227 (after Qoo10 vouchers, cc cashback, Shopback rebate)... but all the recent price drops @_@

If you're in the smartphone game long enough you'll know that the prices fluctuates like stock market lol. You cannot run away from price drops, part and parcel of the game. Most importantly just enjoy the phone

The case is a customised case. Singtel will send you an email with the redemption code for you to use it on the Google site. I have redeemed the case already. It's not the generic fabric case which is why you don't see it with the phone.

If singtel CSO tells you you'll receive the case together with the phone they are simply blowing smoke up your butt.

Yea man the wide angle selfie is really awesome. There's some slight distortion at the sides but I personally find the distortions look pretty nice too. Hahahaha

I didn't see any listings on Carousell throwing in the free Google Home with the Pixel 3. Think those who recontracted from StarHub are probably selling the Google Home separately...

Authorised website for Singapore WhiteStone Dome is under Q00 right? I saw it has a $12 off coupon...making it $48

Side question to those who got it from Q00 Singapore:
1) Option to add on dome glass for $45 is for an additional glass? The $60 option is sufficient right?

2) Are there really no finger prints marks?

In the last email I received, it only stated they will contact me shortly on those 2 items. When did they send you the email on the redemption? Is it before or after you receive your phone?

1) Yes $45 for glass only (no uv). If you steady one time install swee swee (no need to use 2nd loca glue), is enuf lah.

2) The oleophobic coating provides a certain amount of finger smudge.

If you use $12 coupon + 500 q-points ($5 off), total is $43.

With a recent video the Mate 20 Pro & 6T even with double the amount of RAM against a competiting device has failed to keep apps in memory where the other device could. So all the EXTRA EXCESSIVE RAM really amounts to nothing

P3 XL also but it failed to keep even more Apps in memory tho this might have been addressed with a recent patch.

Take the P3XL. It is the safest and by far the best choice amount them if you plan on keeping and using it for a LONGER term.
