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.

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

Big price difference between Vodafone and Google. I am wondering is it likely Vodafone might have their own firmware and software updates wont be pushed directly from Google and therefore be a bit slower and would they add much of their own apps.

That's what I want to find out as soon as I get it so it can go back if they are.

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

Thanks,

PAYG yes. I just hope they are unlocked. Sale is 3 days ongoing. Have to decide then. Lol

Did you preorder yours. Wish they are unlocked. Although I think it will meet google’s price after sale is over

Still tempted to try and pick a 3xl up in best buy next week if I can get someone with a verizon account.. I think the only real downside is the bootloader may be locked on verizon versions.. Not really an issue if I intend keeping stock?

I really doubt the discount will apply to Pixel. Did you check what other flagships it applies to?

The Vodafone price is the the Vodafone price. Its not going to change and its not a temperory sale.

OldMrBrennan83

Yeah I see now, the phones with reductions in that sale are marked. There's very few of them actually.

Makes me very nervous as to what state the software will be in on these.

OldMrBrennan83

Has anyone else cancelled a Google Store order by the way? How long does it take to come back into the bank? €1800 is not much fun to absorb in the space of a few days.

In terms of the wireless charging, will any pad charge it wirelessly!?

If it's like the AT&T S8, then I'll be disappointed. They're so SLOW at getting updates. Praying Vodafone doesn't do stuff like this..

Are you guys not able to find out this information before pre-ordering? Or you guys are just happy to take advantage of the cooling-off period?

You expect Vodafone employees to have enough of a clue to answer any questions about bloatware, network locking, and update timing?! :pac:

OldMrBrennan83

Like Basil said, I'd say they've no clue themselves and wouldn't tell you if they did.

Google phones as a rule don't have network customised OSs

Some positives from demo units in Verizon/best buy.. ill definitely be trying out next week when in the US.. leaning towards waiting for an Irish/UK purchase as Verizon/Best buy versions are all bootloader locked.. not a huge issue for me as ill run stock anyway.. but might lower resale value

Any chance you'd be able to go straight to google for support if there's an issue if you buy from Vodafone? The google support is top notch and if you have to go through vodafone for a repair/replacement it would be a pain in the arse.

Your contract is with the retailer and not the manufacturer so youd have to go through vodafone.

Found some text in the hardware warranty from Google that doesn't specify.

"This Limited Warranty is only valid and enforceable in the EEA and Switzerland and will only apply if you are a consumer and have purchased your Google Product from Google or its authorised resellers in the EEA or Switzerland."

Vodafone are an authorised reseller surely? There's some mention of buying the phone directly/not directly from Google under the French section of the warranty but nowhere else.

I was going by the Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act 1980.

S.M.B.

I thought they had different returns policies based on whether you bought directly or via an authorised reseller. I've bought (and got replacements) my two google phones that I bought direct so I never paid too much attention to the details for those who do not.

That's fair enough. I contacted Google and they said there would be no problem using Google support. So maybe they don't have to by law, but it seems like they will deal with you directly.

Anyone knows if any Vodafone has Pixel 3 up on their store displays? And also I heard that Pixel back finish is prone to scratch but this reddit post says that they are not permanent

After my failed pixel 2 xl replacements, I got an iPhone X. I’m now starting to miss android so most likely will be moving back to the normal pixel 3 (think the XL is too big for me this time). Any tips of the best way to get the most money from my iPhone X? Don’t think the google store does trade ins over this side of the Atlantic
