Google Pixel Phones 2016

Lazada list "No warranty" on the sets they sell, hoping it's just a typo.

No need to hope. There is no typo. Google does not sell Pixel in SG.

 

[TechZSG]

not typo, warranty you will have to deal with google directly, first time buying export set?

Yes, first time

I figured that at least Lazada would provide a basic warranty, is there no regulation in SG that covers buyers for these kinds of sales?

*edit* I held off buying other sets because I wanted one with warranty. What are my options if I want at least 1 yr warranty locally?

Not interested to get phone covers, but I need something anti-slip

Anyone has experience with dbrand skins? does all skin anti-slip?

Also read horrible stories on the time taken to ship, any experienced person can share? Thanks

I use dbrand skins for almost all the phones that I've owned. they're good. in terms of anti-slip, I'd say it does help but not by much. the matte black skins are like the sandstone back of the oneplus one but a little smoother.

generally shipping takes around 2 weeks from my experience. once had a lost shipment and they sent me another one without any questions. so two thumbs up for that.

those who have the phone, do u notice the battery percentage font is soooo small... how to see?

also why the time set to am/pm but the am/pm doesnt appear

 

[technolust]

Yah, this is a problem with nexus phones also. The default battery indicator is small as fug. Very leychey to enable some more. I suggest using battery widget or third party app that puts the battery percentage on the top right side

pay a lot more like double?
or just move oversea so you can buy the pixel "locally"
actually not that hard to rma, just that it will take longer (ship to oversea and back)

Their 1 year in house warranty is a gimmick. Go read 1 bro's experience with them a few pages back.

Send back to Google, same thing. Anyway, good luck asking Google for warranty if not purchased direct from Google. I wonder if Google will accept. Having said that, lemon law is an SG law, and Google does not sell the phone in SG, so you can answer the question yourself.

chances are no unless it is a spoilt item right after u get it. otherwise, it is the same as buying cheap appliances. i mean, given the limited sets each of them import, telling u they can give u warranty is quite a big lie too. then again, of all the phones i gotten, never needed to use the warranty. lets hope the device itself is made properly and if well taken care of there is no need for repairs or exchange.

 

[froyotrading]

Anyone knows where to get he case & SP? Tried searching in qoo10..dont see many...for non-XL version

 

[Red_Cheesepie]

Just gotten liquid crystal for my XL, can't wait for my phone to arrive on Wed. Plan to use without screen protector. Surprisingly, Spigen cases are quite affordable. Last time i tot very ex one.

My last nexus phone (6p) was some time ago but i used a htc like clock widget that could display time, date, weather and battery percent also

US set seems cheapest for actual retail price. Can we use US set in Singapore? Thinking to ask Friend help bring back one.

Yes. Just won't have LTE-CA. Would be nice to have, but no big deal if not.
