Matt Sp also works well for FP unlock?

yes - had gone the hard way - and test almost 4 type of matte sp liao.
those that sandy looking one will fail badly - those smooth blur type can work - around 90 percent hit rate. not bad liao.

test liao - unable to replicate the issue leh.

Aiya Every year release, pixel many bad news one. Feels like many purposely aim at it. For me I care to read some important but not all. When comes to my hand also working fine for Every unit.

Honestly speaking. If you are worried about warranty. You should not be looking at overseas phones, period. Shop warranty is not an answer either. Today they will help you, tomorrow they close down and still tell you you are on your own.

Tbh, pixel 6 is not available in SG yet for the moment. And the fact that you are worried about warranty issues, just dont get the phone.

Even if the phone is officially available in SG, the repair service may not be able to repair the phone that you bought from overseas for you. Even if you pay for it. Not all pixel 6 phones in each region may have the same part/part numbers that work with SG pixel 6 (assuming that Google officially sells it here). They would not wanna be liable to damage your phone by replacing parts that they do not have or compatible with it.

This dont just apply to Google. Other brands also.

So imo, if you are worried with warranty. Pixel 6 is not for you now. Till it is officially launched in SG then get it in SG then.

Alright thanks for the info!

How about the telcom bands and such? Is there any difference between a Taiwanese or a US import?

Both supports local band 4G, band 3, 7 and 8. Basically 900Mhz, 1800Mhz and 2600Mhz.

For 5G SA our local telcos are using band 78 which is 3500Mhz.

Yes for 4G it works on all spectrums locally for both phones be it Tw or Us set. So be it you are in indoor or outdoor coverage 4G is all fully functional. The questionable one will be VoLTE. This function may not function properly. It requires all the telcos to update it.

For 5G SA. Technically speaking band 78, 3500Mhz should work locally. However as some pointed out that it might not work is kinda puzzling for me, cause no brands will limit the use of 5G network when it is available, telcos also will just let you use the network when it is available. After all you are buying an unlocked phone.

I have yet to own a Pixel. But i have a fully functional 5G SIM and 5G VAS add on and using it with my Samsung S21+ i am getting blistering 700Mbps down 50Mbps up on M1 5G SA. I will think about getting a pixel if the 5G works and VoLTE works. And to do that, i wish someone in SG or in this thread have M1 line to test the VoLTE if it works.

The mobile manufacturer needs to hardcode the operator's 5G network config into the phone in order for it to connect to 5G.

So if the phone is not officially released here, chances are it can't connect to 5G networks here.

Anyone ordered from Australia and shipping over via Auspost? My parcel has been stuck at customs since 5 Nov. Status is "On hold pending GST / Duty clearance with Authority".

I tried it on my pixel 6. Using m1 5G. Voice call is not VoLTE though. It shows "H+". I tried enabling 5G in settings but I'm still getting LTE. I'm using a taiwanese pixel 6 set. Hmm still not gonna use 5G since it's battery consuming and network is not so stable as mentioned by one of the broski in the forum. Hope this helps!

5G will not works in Singapore until it’s OFFICIALLY sold here or support by google despite even the bands are supported. I thought it’s being mentioned trillion times over this and Pixel 5 thread?

Singapore not listed inside - https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/10082009?hl=en

for volte - check under setting > network and internet > tap on SIMs > should have volte toggle setting.
