Android 8.1 has those. I'm currently running one of the earth which shows the current daylight and weather conditions over my geographic location.

The colours on the Pixel look terrible compared to the X! I was thinking of getting the 2XL as I'm itching for a full body OLED display and best possible camera, but the blue screen issues are putting me off along with the lack of wireless charging. I like the look of the X but it seems too small and the software problems may not be resolved until later next year when the X Plus will be on the horizon...
What software problem I’ve not come accross any yet.

Used it multiple times and was smooth.
Only time it got confused was when I showed it wifey's face first and then moved it quickly to mine.

So still a bit rough around the edges, which is to be expected. I imagine in 10 months time the new Apple Phablet (X Plus) will be out, so I'll hang on to my 7 Plus until then as I will definitely be buying one of those on release day.
No, because you have to swipe up to unlock while looking at it.

Anyone got any suggestions for screen protectors? Looks to be both the normal style and 3d ones with the bezel included... so unsure what is the better bet.
Considering the swipe home gesture starts at the bottom edge, I think a film style protector rather than a thicker glass one would be better.

Forgot to mention I'm running the XL in SRGB mode which was resulted in the colours being muted compared to before.
I have no suggestions but I’m interested to know why you would put a hardened glass screen underneath a plastic screen protector? I’ve never managed to scratch an iPhone screen ever and I don’t exactly baby my devices.

I never had any trouble with iPhone screens up until my 6S which randomly got scratched in my pocket on its own.
I swear the glass has become far less scratch resistant since the iPhone 6 onwards. Due to the cost of the X, I’m nervous to leave the glass unprotected.
Does it not have some sort of smartlock system like android where it can stay unlocked when connected to a particular BT device? (which was designed for those situations)
As a guy who has used nothing but Samsung Android phones it took abit to get used to this but I'm loving it...so fluid and smooth and so easy to move between things. Once you get used to the swiping and gestures it just feels so nice to use and I'm really loving the screen too. It looks beautiful.
My only downside is the same one I had when I opened it earlier...for me the phone just feels too small. I'm so used to the Galaxy note series that its hard for me to get used to this screen size. If they did a plus version of this when it would be perfect for me. Even though its 5.8 inches its the fact that its thinner because of the aspect ratio that makes it feel to small for me.
il most likely keep it though and maybe just change to a bigger size next year when they eventually bring out a plus mode but so far that's my only gripe.

No screen protector and after 13 months, my 7+ is immaculate.
Haven't had any problems with other phones either... the only one that was a scratch magnet was the 5 and that was the back which was a known issue with them...

Yeah agreed. I have no issues with screen size and there doesn't need to be a bigger version. The device itself is amazing but iOS is ******* horrid. They need to improve the consistency of the font size, right now I only see real benefits in the settings app. I don't think that this will be sorted out anytime soon though so I've decided to keep my Pixel 2XL order open and return the X.
+1
The screen on my 6S is made of cheese. I now have a screen protector on it but I had it a few weeks before getting one. My old 4S (now my wife's phone) never had a screen protector and is in better condition than the 6S.
Apple clearly dropped the quality-control ball with the 6S screen. I hope they've since picked it up for the 8/X.
