With 20% excise duty also, 40k cannot be justified for a 400 dollars phone. Anyway they'll maybe realise the same in a few months when the phone fails miserably in India.

Exactly, they should have priced 3a at 25k. It would have been a great move.

Google has lost it in India. They have priced 3a at 40000 when devices like OnePlus 7 will be priced similar or lower. Who the hell in going to pay 40k for 3a when pixel 3 is available at 55k. And they wonder why they are failing.

Installed it during the io announcement only. Seems pretty smooth and full gestures finally although the back gesture kind of ruins the in app ability to swipe right from edge to access settings etc. Have to use the hamburger menu in all apps for the time being.

Moving camera is no go for me too specially in a a city like delhi where dust is so prevalent.

I might consider OnePlus 7 pro as well. Camera is said to be a major improvement also 90hz 2k panel and ufs 3 storage seems intriguing. Pricing is going to be around 50k.

Google doesn't care about the Indian market specially when it comes to hardware. They price their products outrageous in India and support is so and so. Even when the original pixel was launched it didn't support Jio volte. They did enable it later. Now they are doing the same with Airtel and...

Some pictures from a recent trip to Kasol.

Yeah true that but they'll have to sort it out by final release as they are already behind other OEMs in terms of gesture.

Ok so tried the gestures. I don't like them at all personally. Gestures are pointless if they're going to have that huge ugly navbar.

Yeah I'm aware of that. Pixel produces the most natural looking pictures.

Yeah, its pretty stable for 1st beta. Haven't tried the new gestures yet.

Feedback icon was planned. I read somewhere they had intentionally put the feedback icon in app drawer to make it easy for people to report bugs.

Samsung 10e seems to be phone for you if you are looking for one with a flat screen. Oneplus 6t is a good option too but doesn't have wireless charging and camera is mediocre compared to pixel.

Does anyone else also has the pixel visual core service icon in the app drawer? Also icici bank app just wouldn't work on Android q, anyone else also facing this?

Just installed the beta. All apps are working fine as of now. Ambient display is gone for me, double tapping the screen and picking up the phones directly lights up the screen like ios.

Cool. Let us know if its stable enough to use as a daily driver.

I'd wait for some feedback before installing the beta. Usually they are stable for daily use but as its the first beta app compatibility issues might be there.

40-80% is the the golden rule for batteries. I have a laptop from 2014 and it still holds over 80% of the factory capacity even after almost 5 years. ---------- Post added at 07:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 AM ---------- Nokia is slowly emerging as a great alternative to...

Haha true. Its the bloody camera otherwise i would have switched a long time back.

March update is out and google still hasn't added volte support for airtel. Their ignorance towards the indian market is astounding.

Maybe they'll add it once 5g is out :silly:

That's bad. Here in Delhi the service was good at least in terms of pickup and drop. The guy collected the phone next day after my complaint.

my touchscreen stopped working in the middle of the screen and first time they just reflashed the software and returned it back. I did rma again and this time around they replaced the phone. they've stopped replacing the phones now and are only repairing them. experience was bad obviously as the...

oh that's just bad luck I guess. I did rma twice and was given a replacement device in both case. although I request for nexus 6p I got nexus 5x both times.

the whole process takes about a week or two. they do give replacement device, a nexus 5x or 6p depending on the availability in case you don't have one. the notification led works fine, it's disabled by default. go to settings, apps and notifications and then notifications. switch on the toggle...

Its ironic that phones worth 3k support volte and Google still can't do that on pixel. with android one now coming with more phones, I'd certainly skip pixel next time and might go for a Nokia flagship.

not yet. as usual it's a staged rollout.

it's coming soon. already live in the beta version I think. the white all around with those bright colours is extremely irritating specially at night. they should bring a proper system wide dark mode like OnePlus.

I've only seen it available once or twice on flipkart. it's still out of stock as of now. ---------- Post added at 04:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 AM ---------- did anyone receive a new update for phone app? v 25.0.22.. the colours for contacts and favourites have been changed...

I like app switch gesture on stock android too but the navbar doesn't makes any sense. I hope Google moves to an implementation like iOS. ---------- Post added at 07:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 AM ---------- pixel is really awesome with standby battery. I've only experienced...

it doesn't affect battery at all. I've hidden navbar with the command given in app and using bottom gestures for home, back and split screen shortcuts. I've also bought the paid version which adds even more customisability and also use the side gesture for back like iOS and miui.

gestures are **** in android 9, no point of gestures if the ugly nav bar is still going to be there. try this app, its free and doesnt require root. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid&hl=en_IN

don't worry pixel is waterproof. I usually clean the phone under a tap once in a while.

yup. I can always feel vibrations on screen when playing anything through speakers.

battery backup in indeed pretty good. oneplus's app management and doze mode are quite good.

I got 6t for my mother and it does looks good but camera is plain awful even when compared to my pixel 2 xl. the details on 6t are awful. it also doesn't feel as fluid as pixel when using it. it will get better with updates but even with gcam it won't be anywhere around pixel which is something...

Yes I'm aware of that. I stopped rooting my phones about couple of years back. Anyway I guess I'll have to wait for the official rollout.

Thanks. Wish I had a rooted phone. This is one of the most exciting features Google has rolled out.

How is it with Indian accents and what about hindi? Can you please share your experience?

Google gestures are pointless. I'm using an app called fluid navigation to hide the navbar all together and use customisable gestures. Its highly customisable and free app. Works without root perfectly.

The screen is bad but it's not pale at all. On saturated mode colours are very vibrant. Could be a software issue I guess. I got mine replaced due to dead spot on touchscreen and the replacement I got did had a little better screen in terms of blue shift but was still grainy and the speakers on...

The screen is the bad part if you can live with it. Apart from that my experience has been great so far. Camera is great, you have to use it to see how well it does. If screen is your priority go with Samsung, if not then pixel 2 xl at anything under 35k is a steal specially with 2 year warranty...

It's not a great deal to be honest. You can get a new one for 30-35k. Paytm, flipkart and amazon will be holding sales soon so after discounts and cashback you should get a good deal and also if you don't know the seller personally there is always a risk.

Whatever phone you move to but in your budget everything will be a downgrade. You are using a phone that is still destroying flagships even though its a year old model. You'll have to compromise on camera with that budget. Maybe try to increase your budget and galaxy s9+ or note 9 are viable...

Oh yes. People there are a treat. Met lot of lovely people and had some amazing conversations.

Scotland is one hell of a beautiful country. Did a small road-trip there back in 2012. Loch Ness, Edinburgh and couple of other cities. Too bad I had a Lumia back then which ruined many pictures :crying:

Some pictures from a recent trip to a hill station near my hometown!

Apple still jacks up their prices a lot in india. They dont have to pay this much excise duty when they import iphones. They pay around 10% of the declared cost of the phone. This still doesnt justify the massive price difference.

I love how natural the colours are on pictures. Although it struggles a bit in overcast conditions.
