Tried the phone at challenger. Bezel abit thick. Phone is light which I found it okay but the ui like quite laggy or is it cos it's the demo version. Thought of changing our my China phone to this though.

may i ask why take 7 instead of 7a? 7a is cheaper than 7, and i compare and see, like not that worth paying 250 more for 7 compare to 7a?

from what i see, it's only better camera? which i dont really take photo/video often. nor i really need wireless charging. 128gb is more than enough for me too
If you are not really into the Google camera, then imo you should look at other cheaper alternative models from Xiaomi etc. Pixel is well known for its camera performance. I suggested 7 because 7 pricing is now on par or even cheaper than 7a with online sellers. So why spend so much on a "budgeted" model?

Played around with it with the smooth display setting turned on. Doesn’t feel like 90hz. Does anyone else think something is not right?

I don't want to spend 8 secs outside in Singapore weather, let alone spend 8 mins recording video on a phone. And 26 Celsius is considered cool weather by local standards ! :LOL:

I deliberately checked for it and turned it on and it was still feeling like lots of frames were dropped.
Same experience, noticed the screen quite choppy, turned it on liao still feel choppy.
Also 7a has the same shitty panel as normal P7....

The demo set has not been optimized for efficiency or performance

Hi guys, may I ask where would be the best place to purchase at the moment to maximize the free gifts/vouchers? I saw that Shopee has run out of the Pixel Buds

Google Store still offers $150 voucher and phone case, not too bad.
