The Pixel 3 thread, featuring 'The Notch'

OldMrBrennan83

Jesus, that really is big.

Not far away from launch now anyway but it's pretty much out there already. The 4GB RAM and single camera have left lots of people underwhelmed but I'll trust them, for now, anyway.

Apparently the headphones are in the box with all models.

Vodafone are doing it here (so far anyway). One bought from Google will be unlocked to any network.

Haven't been getting notifications for the thread. But what I meant was could you buy them separately? I don't wanna spend €150 on Pixel Buds.

Yeah they're on the Google Store for €35.

Will any of the funky features work on say a Galaxy S8?

That's the thing with having no set standard for USB-C audio, there's no way of knowing until someone tries. I remember my USB-C U11 headphones wouldn't work in anything else.

One more question, since you've been extremely helpful. What price is Vodafone selling the phone for? Can't seem to find anything on their website.

Nevermind it's been updated.

I was going to say they hadn't it up yet but they must have done it this evening. That's a fair bit cheaper on PAYG.

If you buy from CPW can you deal direct with Google for warranty purposes? Will CPW ship to an Irish address or would you need to use parcel motel or similar?

I've only found it on RED Connect or something which is overpriced for what I actually use my phone for. What's the PAYG price?

I bought my 1st gen Pixel from Fonez (never go there unless you was get scammed) and I dealt with Google for warranty. Their customer service is outstanding.

The 64GB XL is €889 as opposed to €999 from Google. €779 for the regular 3 in 64GB vs €899.

I'm tempted too but I'm not sure what messing they'll do with software. Plus, if there's anything wrong, Vodafone are an absolute sh*t show.

What about the standard size Pixel 3? Don't really want an airplane runway... I mean a notch.

I'll try to snag one for bday or maybe Christmas! Sound!

I know I'm going to regret it and be here complaining but I cancelled my Google order and did a Vodafone one (and then ordered the charging stand from Google).

If by chance this is the first time ever Vodafone aren't complete clowns then it's a nice saving.

Are those phones that vodafone selling locked to their network? Very surprised to see them undercutting google's prices if they're an authorised seller.

They'll be locked I'd say yeah. Though for what they lack in customer service they make up for with network. I'd never have any intention of switching from them even if I left the job.

Not necessarily. My recent Note 9 came unlocked.

OldMrBrennan83

I wonder if that's why they're cheaper? The reduction pretty much matches up.

I don't think Vodafone are allowed lock them on Google, open to correction but last phone I got from Vodafone was unlocked and I would assume this is the same...

I'd suspect that's exactly what it is.

Anyone know if you can buy the Pixel bill pay up north and just use it down south? I cannot justify getting it on Bill pay with Vodafone down here, their deals are awful. Plus, I also cant see myself paying €900 for it unlocked -_-

You would need to have a bit of a credit history established in order to get bill pay. A friend of mine ran into issues when he first moved and it took him a few months to get enough credit to be able to get it.

Thanks, but I'm not moving up north. Just wondering if I could buy it up there on Bill pay and continue to live/ use it down south. Like would they allow that, plus does it count as roaming if you use a northern phone in the south?

Of course, and after Brexit, free roaming intra EU will no longer apply

Your overthinking it. The time and diesel you'll spend going up and down will wipe out any imagined savings.

Price of Pixel 3 now on vodafone is tempting with current discount of €120! It is 879 as oppose to 999 for the 128 GB model. I'm unsure if they will ship the phone unlock as I don't have any plan on switching from 3. My last handset I got was from 3 prepay, S9 plus is locked to their network.

Is €879 PAYG option? How much is it if you decide to go with bill pay on Vodafone?

Thanks,
