Google Pixel 6 series

[meet_nanda]

Amazon UK seems to works differently from US and JP....
Collect $$ liao but never ship out since last week...

Haha What is the estimated delivery date shown in the order status?

 

[meet_nanda]

My Pixel 6 from Amazon US has reached vpost. I have declared the package as phone and they charged me GST straight away along with shipping charges. Estimated delivery date from vpost is 10 to 17 November.

Haha What is the estimated delivery date shown in the order status?

Arriving 3 Nov - 9 Dec
The product page still put in stock.

As long as you make calls and it stays at LTE, you have VoLTE.
HD icons in the Google Phone app requires both parties to have VoLTE and same telco.

Correct leh, my usual calls to 2 friends both pure Starhub and not MVNO.

1 is iPhone 11 Pro Max and the other is Poco F3.

Update for vPost Taiwan, called them and they are unable to allow FedEx to pick up from their warehouse… say they do not provide this service.

Then I requested for refund from Google Store TW, how it works is that they will send somebody to go to you to collect the phone, no way of delivering back to them with return label or what, cause it is not provided. Because of this you also cannot ask the guy from Google to come down to vPost to take the phone…

No choice I have to activate my friend’s relative who is staying in Taiwan by redirecting the phone from vPost to them (Paid $11.50). So Google can collect from them for refund. This redirection still in progress will update again.

Other comments pointed out that ezbuy ezShip can help to ship, you may want to try.. but based on my call to them they say cannot.. so I don’t want to take the risk otherwise the return period expire already then cannot refund.

Hope this helps.

wah. my phone reached vpost liao. put as 'Dangerous', cnt ship

Yup, doesn't have to be same phone. Just need VoLTE and same telco.

Pixel 6 is dangerous...

 

[ThinkMe]

Yup, doesn't have to be same phone. Just need VoLTE and same telco.

Yup and still didnt display HD on Google Phone app.

Oh well. At least now I know VoLTE is available on my Pixel 4a.

2nd day review.

Fingerprint is getting better for some reason, might just be me (better finger posture)? One annoying thing is the pin code covering on screen fingerprint as compared to Pixel 5, where you can still use your fingerprint on the back with pin code screen.

Battery is even better today, improved at least 10-20%. Almost to Pixel 5's level.

'Face Unblur' feature is amazing. Make faces sharper, less chance of blur (my hand isn't the steady type).

Video recording is noticeable better.

Getting more used to the weight, but still very slippery.

Actually it will be very interesting to see if volte works on m1 haha.

It seems alot of issue having forwarder to send phone from overseas.

I would rather pay $1.2 for the shopee guy if it "confirm" can deliver the P6 128

the problem is their stock also not ready.. also need to wait.. might as well wait next year official release

 

[kEvinErd]

There is a lot of unknown when using fwder especially on vpost or at least now ezship TW as well ( took the gamble last year ). Try at your own risk

When you bought your Pixel 5 last year from Google Store Taiwan, did you use forwarding or Buy For Me service?

The issues are pretty minor. If you're having issues you can always pay for someone to resolve these for you

Nope didn’t use buyforme. checkout via guest purchase on google store.. direct the package to ezship warehouse.

My Pixel 6 order finally shipped from Google US Play Store to CGW

Paid for GoogleOne so I got 10% cashback
Preorder-ed so managed to get the pixel buds free too

Fingers crossed

Actually.... volte for me only useful when playing game like mlbb... Incoming can still play. No volte instant disconnected .

What else is so important with volte ah

As spotted by XDA Developers, this new tool is not actually intended to be used unless you have to replace the display on your Pixel 6 or 6 Pro. The primary goal is to make sure that the scanner can be properly recalibrated in the event that your display is replaced and things aren’t working as you expected they would.

You may want to use case according to one youtube amdk that it makes the phone a lot more grip to hold

Nice to hear the fingerprint is getting better! You can also register 2-3 fingerprints profile to get more hits rates

Like professional who do troubleshooting something on call and need to search something about it.
