Yep, OP5 was identical to R11 so this will be the same. Thinking they still use Samsung panel, but who knows.
I hope AJ noticed how much I continued his gospel when he got banned.
This user was warned for this post.
Wait until you all figure out how many hidden features are on these forums. Maybe I've been blind because I didn't really go on any other forums.
I think there are some other goodies, but I like this a lot better. After the dark theme comes, we'll just need a few more enhancements.
- The notification system is amazing
- Double click on a post to go straight to edit mode
- Highlight parts of a post to select it for a quote or just to reply
- Spoiler tags are slick
- 2 Factor authentication using e-mail/phone

The bottom of the screen being red instead of blue is supposed to be better?
I was reading if you download the Google camera app it improves it a lot. Most sample pics were much improved.
I settled on Pixel 2 XL and ordered it almost a week ago. It should be arriving first week of November. The blue tint isn't a dealbreaker for me, but it is annoying. The reports of image retention/burn-in have me a bit shook, though, and I'm really hoping Google provides an option to go with a greatly expanded color gamut with some vibrancy. I can kind of respect the logic behind the sRGB tuning but do find it baffling that they didn't think it'd be an issue in the era of ridiculously attractive looking smartphone screens across the range of flagships these days. I do personally prefer a more vibrant display, but I can see why some might value sRGB accuracy.
This board is so much better - even on mobile
Somebody gotta find Jeffery tho
honestly image retention on the nav bar... who cares. Realized this when I got my s8+.
most apps you have nav bars up, you won't notice burn-in. Other times you will be watching 16:9 video and aren't a monster and cropping that shit, so black bars there you won't notice.
Same with games.

Hello hello. Lurker from the old site but hoping to contribute some here. I'm getting my Pixel 2 XL tomorrow? I guess? Damn thing was out for delivery at 9am and 12 hrs later I'm still waiting. Hoping the reports of all these display issues are over blown but I fully expect problems at this point.

Looks good. Took 30 seconds to get chrome plugin + install

image retention on nav bar goes away in 8.1 anyway.
Google should never have had a static black/white nav bar once the industry moved to OLED. Its a shame it took them years to fix this
the white text is meh. gotta halloween it up a bit. changed it to orange
lol.
#content a { color: DarkOrange; }

Nice combo. Purple and orange always go together.
I feel it is unacceptable when Google is pricing the phone that high. I cancelled my XL 2 order and will wait to see how or if they fully rectify the situation.
agreed. but everybody is cutting corners and raising prices in 2017, except maybe samsung (except the weird fingerprint sensor location).
Apple may even be lowering the accuracy of the face id thing to make enough for demand lol
No doubt. 2017 is the year of "gotta pay to play" when it comes to flagship phones.
OnePlus 5T will be the sweet spot for android this year if you want bezel-less display. Build quality is great on OnePlus, near stock android with good modifications, unlocked bootloader, nice speaker, good call quality. It's a major win.
They've always had good build quality. Just look at JerryRigEverything's video on the OP5. It is really well built. Good quality components too.
every model of the OnePlus has had some kind of problem. Digitizer problems galore across multiple generations
Haven't heard of digitizer issues except on the Oneplus One which caused the bottom of the screen to be yellow, which was fixed a few months after release. If anything is wrong with the 5T we will find out quickly.
Conflicting reports, but most likely. Chinese companies hate 1440p for some reason.
Oh geezus the blue tint is real. I thought if anything I could easily overlook that. Ehh idk about that right now.
Us Australians got ripped off, again.
$1399 for Pixel 2 XL 64 GB. Ordered mine but won't even ship till Nov 20th.
Waiting and watching till it ships, hopefully Google can sort out this screen bullshit before then.
Thing is, I've been a Nexus user for over 6 years now, and I don't know if I can go to anything that's not pure android.

Got my XL 2 today. Been fairly happy with pictures, but your post got me to try video. Good god, the distortion is TERRIBLE. I'm going to have to try again tomorrow in natural light instead of crappy apartment-after-dark light, but I'm super nervous now about keeping this phone.
I don't get why. Plenty of 1440p phones have great battery life if that's their concern.
Took the plunge on the Essential phone, already have a Note 8 that has exceeded my expectations. This is a pure impulse purchase that I'll probably regret and just return to Amazon anyway.
It's a bad sign for a phone when Amazon literally has one case available for it.
