Sorry to bring it back to one of my earlier posts but what do you guys think of the deals for these phones at the minute?
I have to say I'm very very tempted at £720 for the XL with the "Free" Daydream VR, I guess if you want to look at it that the way the phone is really 'ONLY' £650.
Any gut feelings about price drops going into January?

Any decent screen protectors for the Pixel? Have some from Yootech, and they're pretty bad - don't cover the screen all that well, and don't stick down at the edges.

Yeah I updated yesterday, clicked on check for updates and got it straight away.
Nice. Just tried the wife's again after yesterday and it's now downloading.
263.6MB. EE network.
Looking forward to the better ambient display and double tap to wake.

The lift to wake and tap to wake features look mint. I know they're not ground breaking by any means but the Pixel took a fair bit of flack for NOT including those features but now that they have been implemented surely that puts it a little higher up the food chain?
I have been toying with buying the XL all week and I think the last update might just have swayed my decision - happy christmas to me!

I started my install around midnight last night... It's still going!
I realised that on stage 2 on the install, if I kept the screen on, stage 2 took about 5-10 mins. With the screen off it paused the install I think.
I don't have it yetCan't lie, I actually really want both of those things too...

Yeah, without the update Ambient display was a bit useless.
Wife has this one - its a nice case, with good protection.
Is there a way to turn off burst mode in the camera? Mrs triggering it sometimes making a mess.

Double tap to wake is more like triple tap to wake right now. I'd really love for them to implement a similar feature like on customer rooms to double tap to sleep. With the update I noticed the phone seems to be a tad faster and battery life has increased a tiny bit. I also noticed that with on my fingers that I registered it doesn't seem to pick it up all the time. My other fingers are fine though. I also feel like it's harder to activate google assistant with the 'ok google' hotwords. Either I have to have ot cm's away from my face or if it's on the table and I'm sitting normally I have to almost shout to get it to work.
