Don't know wor, my Nokia 7 plus and Nokia 8 were using the NANO Liquid screen guard, no scratches so far. I would think that an additional physical layer over the screen is still better..

Been using phones without sp or tp, like the silk smooth glass feeling.

Nope.

Probably because of Android 9 feature which adjusts brightness automatically. You may want to turn it off or leave it on and adjust your brightness level to your liking.

haha. very short sale ma, probably not many got the deal.

with the halo gray matte finishing, this has become my favourite looking phone liao. No branding at all, not camera bump, very sharp and industrial looking design. Very timeless look.

For me the problem is actually the adaptive brightness not adapting. Like after adjusting the brightness manually, the software is supposed to "learn" that in this type of lighting, I prefer this type of brightness, but it doesn't seem to be "learning" in my case. The Google Pixel for example handles this really well on Android Pie (it was sh!t on android oreo btw). Also I think the dimmest possible setting is still a bit bright, if they can go a bit lower will be even better. haha.

[milanmania2004]

Not too sure. Didn't pay attention when unboxed, noticed it now under bright sun.

It is due to the Adaptive Brightness on Android P that is "learning" your preference and it will take some time.

After read more over Reddit, looks like pretty common issue for halo set.

Contacted amazon cs, see what they can do either RMA or partial refund.
