Google Pixel 8 series

[kopi22]

very strange why Google wana to hard code and restrict this "call screening" function.
even though they promote it
and use AI to enhance it

very very disappointed, that we missed out on key feature yet again (have been waiting for the past few yrs)
ps (i have 4xl, 6p, 7p)

anything else that we missed out yet again on Pixel 8 Pro ?

The VPN? We don't have the VPN service in SG. I wonder why google disallow call screening in SG

Lazada 10.10 I think can save more... Now is -450, during 10.10 you get $6 off every $80 so that's about $90 off for 256GB, up to $108 off for 512GB (if you have that much balance in your Lazada bonus)
Given the $400 voucher will be refunded once you cancel and is valid till 11 Oct, then that's a total of up to $508 off for 512GB and $490 off 256GB, extra $40 can go buy 5 days worth of cai pngs.

Did I get it wrong? That part can stack with the store $400 voucher?
Caveat is need to visit Lazada app daily to collect the vouchers.

wah but it is a slightly gamble too

Singtel most likely won't increase the price on 10/10 but I have seen some immoral seller increasing their price during sales

since the phone going to ship on 10 Oct, need to cancel order by 8 Oct to be safe, otherwise cannot cancel order liao

also need to be sure u have collected enough Lazada bonus haha

Any good and cheap casing?

my recommendation is rugged shield series
https://shp.ee/hx9uuh4

I have been using rugged shield for my pixel 3 and 6

the case is a little bulky and does not look "pretty" but the protection is very worth it

have dropped both phones countless times even from shoulder level face down but I have never cracked my screen protector or screen, both phones are still fine

Can return Lazada order even if it is shipped. Just don’t unbox the retail box.

battery replacement is a bit expensive but I think it is still worth it if u plan to use for phone for 6 to 7 yrs

take note your phone must be bought from SG but heard before they accept US or AU models for warranty

I mean the Singtel voucher only valid till 11 Oct, if cannot cancel your order means cannot use on 10 Oct

light flare?

Register for another Lazada account. I dunno how to help but you need to be cool about it and decide if the current price is good enough for you and don’t look back.

if the price is best now and you get it now means it’s good enough already.

Yeap, thanks for the niche info.
Hope the tensor chip will last that long.

Singtelshops have demo sets and Pixel Watch 2 to play with as well.

More like Telco restrictions. Likewise for the caller id service, changing $5 for a simple id service is extortion.

With today scamming risk environment, government should enforce compulsory free caller id .

For those who bought the Ringke case from Ringke Shop Shopee Korea, when will they ship the case? Do they have stock already for immediate shipping?

Seems their CS no work on weekends, .
