Not surprised. The demand pickup when price dropped during Black Friday 2017. Haha.

Just try it, no harm trying. It's better at night n hdr shots. Normal shots, default app n this is similar. I use them interchangeably.

after installing the google camera app to my essential phone, the photos taken are indeed of a much better quality than before (more significant results in the night photos). :D

I'm using something similar for my HTC 10 too. It's not there's no halo around the edges, just that can't see due to the black print.

Does the black border 'cut' into the display? I had one for my OnePlus 5 but it cuts into the display area.

Received my replacement set from Amazon. Build is a little bit different. The back ceramic panel sits almost flushed to the side frame while my old set's panel is higher than the sides.

Supposedly new one better. Old one, back panel one side a bit higher than the other. And old one got no pull tab in the box. Old one might be returned set.

New one also shows "charging rapidly" more often compared to the old one. Old one keep changing status between slow, normal n rapid. Need more charge cycles to confirm this.

But i just compared the screen side by side, both on max brightness, new one's white is yellowish.

Both got flaws. Haiz lol. Keeping new one though as the yellowish screen is not a major issue.

oh, no pull tab high chance your set is a used set. lucky my set was sealed by the pull tab when received.
this phone draw lots of attention when i was in public places, it's a head turning phone...😀
