So those without 5g plan now, how do you know that the p6 you received is not a dud? Components like camera, wireless charging, dead pixels, you can easily check and test., But 5g no chance to test drive. Then 2023 you get a 5g plan and you realize eh wtf my fone cannot 5g g g g gg

How likely is it that all the hardware in your phone is working ok, but you got a 5g-related factory defect?

What is a 5G defect? Lol if you want test 5G go apply for a 5G plan on either SingTel or StarHub.

[xonix]

Sorry if it's been asked before. But can anyone share if they are able to use eSIM for phones bought from Singapore Google Store?

what do you want to test on 5g? that you can dl and upload at ultra speeds?
honestly having or not having 5g is not a deal breaking feature

you are better off with LTE and alot more battery time

Got myrepublic esim active. Awesome! Got up and running with dual active sim very quickly.

I guess in the (near) future, when it makes sense to go 5g,
it'll be quite stupid if you find out that you're too late for a defect exchange.

tldr: paranoid and see no open

How man?
When they give you a replacement set, try to pull out the same piece also? (j/k)

Got glue to stick them back. the glass have to live with it (machiam rambo scars)

Bring to lo.. they should be able to fix at a cost.

Question on fast charging, I read that Pixel caps at 20W (pretty slow IMHO), why are people buying 60W charger? For laptop?

Price difference in some cases are not significant. Now that most phones will not be shipping with power adaptors in the box, it makes sense to buy a good one for future use. Who knows you might switch to a phone that uses 65 watt charging in the future ?

There are people who bought 60W charger so that they can also charge other devices beside Google Pixel.

will such high voltage charger spoil the pixel 6 pro?

 

[kryptonit3]

idea of the pps is that phone controls an regulate the watt when charging hence using a 65w charger doesn't mean the device is charging at full capacity.. Normally on 18w, which changes at different %

Personally, I find the P6 perfect for my hand, long and slim, miles better than my fat Mi 10T, which I find too heavy and hard to operate one-handed. However, after putting on the Spigen Tough Armour case, damn, it's fat again. Now I want to go back to my Ringke clear case.

I actually find the P6 a bit too wide so hard to grab on compared to P4.
Tall is still ok, can fit in pocket but almost uncomfortable when sitting.
If front pocket shallower a bit then will hit lower stomach area when sitting.

the main reason i got rid of it, super heavy and bulky

Yup its a big heavy phone, even for the not Pro.
Dumbbell for my fingers.
First few days got finger ache, now better.
Maybe need a case behind got strap one like the Samsung one, to hold securely.

One complain about the optical underscreen fingerprint sensor, is that when you are under bright sunlight it may not work at all.

No problem for me though, even with Whitestone applied.

Can I check, what counts towards storage under Google Photo? I have already chosen to save under lower pic quality but it seems storage is still being used and counted towards the 15Gb entitlement?

And those pictures that you download, saved screen savers etc that you choose to upload/sync with google photos, does it count towards storage as well?

Thanks!
