Google Pixel Phones 2016

Yes, you will need to use English (US). Just stick with English (US) if you want to utilise Google services fully.

English (UK) works as well, in case anyone prefers that.

But it's kind of a chicken and egg story right? When you release the phone in limited markets, of course your volume turnover will be small.

If Google is concerned about the logistics side of things, they could have released the phone through the local telcos. That's what most phone manufacturers do anyway. So Google's business decision is very puzzling.

Google is selling in the US but still the numbers are insignificant compared to the rivals. How much more in Singapore? Major market must make successful penetration first then can consider smaller market.

All smartphone makers are barely or losing money except Apple. So Google is very cautious on this aspect.

I simply sent to that address on the label. I didn't use the original label, since the courier would stick a new one on it anyway, and I chose to use DHL instead of UPS (Google used UPS). Regardless, there would be other forms to fill, so you would have to write the address anyway.

you still remember which address you send to?

Magnetic Cable USB-C

Can anyone recommend a good brand for magnetic charging cable? I can't seem to find any with the usb-c connector.

Mine was:

GOOGLE RETURNS CENTER
8558363987
IQOR
SUITE A
5700 S INTERNATIONAL PKWY
MCALLEN TX 78503

But I suppose if you're returning, better get the RMA first and see what yours states.

Anyone ordered from unlocked-mobile?

How long does it get to ship?

N5x last time, quite fast. Iirc weekday order before their 4pm or so same day dispatch.

Though they require you to submit bank txn authorisation code likely to prevent card fraud.

So if you arent ready or didn't record your txn no., you'll have to call the bank to retrieve. Will add to processing time.

Otherwise their cs to international customers is as good as nothing. The return (i.e. repair forwarding) documents they provide are just copy pastes that only apply to UK people and you can barely get a reply beyond that.

Clove UK has a proper international repair forwarding workflow though, but im unsure if pixels are finally in stock. Btw, clove uk also requires txn authorisation no..

I can't seem to find a cheap and good TPSP that doesn't have halos around the perimeter

Already tried 3 times:
- 1st: covers the whole screen and has lots of halo
- 2nd: covers minimum screen and has halos
- 3rd: same as 2nd but has 2.5D edges.

Any recommendations?

I'm using Orzly as some of the members recommended here:
http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/Google-P...841811?hash=item25c597ad53:g:6F0AAOSwpLNX9THK

No halos and covers whole screen, close to edge. Something to take note:
1) I has a front black, so you wont see the original grey front of the screen
2) Fitting is good, however, you can see dot matrix on the screen when screen is off under certain angle of light
3) Overall contrast is reduced because of higher reflectivity and I believe the glass isn't touching the screen
4) Oleophobic-ness is bollocks

Anyways..
I'm keeping my eye on this:
IntelliArmor intelliglass pro
https://www.intelliarmor.com/shop-by-device/pixel/intelliglass-pro-pixel-black-screen-protector.html
(site is down now but might be up later)
Said to have full coverage without the issues I listed above. Give us a holler if you do happen to order
