Anyone kbow where to buy gkass protector for XL? Thanks

I bought mine from MobyShop at $18. Surface is oleophobic and prevents fingerprint smudges. You can give it a try.

If it is the same as JB Hifi sets, you will need a travel adaptor. Rapid charge still works with it.

got mine from qoo10. can only recommend one from nillkin and pureglass. they don't cover edge go edge, only the viewable screen (like <1mm from the viewable screen due to the curve at the sides) no halo or anything. I've tried others that covers the full viewable screen but got quite a bit of halo. these two oleophobic coating quite good as well

Get the spigen one from moshi.moshi carousell. So far I tried many tpg this is the only one that has no halos and covers the screen fully. But of course, needs to be very accurate when applying.

Is anyone keeping the pixel half naked like me? Or fully naked?

I am putting casing only.

App switching seems improved, even less caching of apps going into the backgroud.

Not sure about battery, otherwise WiFi range is still lower than expected compared to 5GHz radios of other phones.

You can really notice the micro difference in performance in between updates?

To me, I think my overall Pixel experience has greatly improved since I first bought it.

I don't play games. I still remember Chrome eating too much memory back then. My memory used to occupy more than 3 GB. Now it is below 2.7 GB most of the time.

It should have improved noticeably in some cases. I have skype installed (just another rogue app like fb) and it will always crash/cache if I switch between multiple apps including chrome browser so the notifications are quite inconsistent.

I haven't seen Skype cache after it goes into the background - just yet! If there's a noticeable improvement with skype, just about any other better app should see slight tangible improvements.

I don't play games either btw

I think the framerate or refresh rate has reduced to marshmallow levels but the phone is producing slightly less heat but the usability from multitasking seems more consistent.

Confirmation bias / placebo or real?

There seems to be a local franchisee now. Check them out. Google pixel not listed though.

Hey, is it "Safe" to buy the pixel which has no receipt for the set? someone is selling and when i asked if they have a receipt.. they said no.

 

[TheAnt]

Even there's a receipt it's of no use. Because there's no official retailers in Singapore for pixel xl. U might as well look for overseas stores that provides warranty if u buy from them but most of the time u need to pay for shipping to send it back for repairs and they send u back free.

**on a side note, got a bnib 3pin plug pixel charger with its cable anyone interested pm me

It's about $1000.

Somebody just sold a 128GB Pixel XL with SP + case for $850 on Carousell earlier this week. Got sold within minutes.

Everyone else is advertising for close to near retail price but there aren't any takers (that I can see publicly). I suspect most get sold a lot less than their advertised prices.

The phone's a niche market. The price is dropping now due to S8 coming out and the next drop will be when Pixel 2 is out (that's 6 months later in October).
