Talk about getting a point completely wrong.

Nova Launcher is absolutely fantastic.

Aren't you pro iPhone?

My mistake. I assumed that widget at the top was fixed.

Pro iPhone, god no. That eventually drove me potty

Avoid this screen protector - it's utter garbage! Screen is pretty much unusable with this on - finger print sensor never works, swiping is hit and miss. Only positive is that it is easy to install (and take off!!). Looks like I'll have to go for a "film" screen protector - any recommendations?

I've used them on other phones and they've been great.

Spot on. They're are. I'm sure underscreen ones will catch up but we're not there yet.

The OnePlus ones are good and tbh I've had no real issue with the one here on the 6 Pro.

What you lose is the indent which helps position the finger better.

There is a slight rattle in my pixel 6 pro phone but is is very noticeable, anybody else has it or was I lucky to get a bad unit?

OIS man. OIS. Probably from the periscope lens. Is it only when you shake it?

Cheers - it's out of stock until early December. Grrrrrrrrrr :mad:

Great so far for me, just one problem. I've applied a glass screen protector and I'm damned if I can get the fingerprint sensor to work. I added my fingerprint after applying it but it won't recognise it or says partial match. Never had any bother on my OnePlus 8

Same here, ended up removing the protector and it's spot on now.

Screen protectors are utter garbage. This is a good thing

I would disagree there, Nova is great IMO.

Thanks mate, might check it out again although the pixel launcher should be ok for me. I actually like the clock thing. Never got it to work on my oneplus for some reason. The calendar part at least..... That was my excuse for forgetting things.

Unsure what case to get, I need one for when cycling solo. I'd get the mous in a heart beat, but not available until January! The spigen looks a good alternative for £10!

Anyone got anything different?

i took a punt on a Caseology Vault Case

Neil Fleming · 26 Oct 2021 at 20:02

I picked up the Caseology Parallax. It's a bit chunkier than I'm used to but quite liking it

No pics of phones ???

Is 6 faster than a 5 ?

I got s10, waiting for 6... other half had 5 and I like it but its too small....

Can't wait to get hands on mine ...

Had exactly the same issue - took it off and it's perfect now. I've ordered the Media Devil film protector now which should arrive sometime next week. Hopefully that'll be fine.

Yes - https://photos.app.goo.gl/9y9TWQEWn8nqrmS36

And Yes (coming from a 5)

I wanted to wait for reviews before hitting the buy button, but I've seen some comments stating the screen brightness isn't all that.

Can anyone confirm for either handset?

I'm coming from a OP6T so don't want a step backwards.

6 Pro goes plenty bright when compared to OnePlus 9 Pro.

Will out do your 6T

Took a punt, no stock though. So will have to run caseless for a while.

android-fan · 26 Oct 2021 at 20:37

Surprised to hear that based on the quoted nit values for the 2 screens?

I've got these and they work perfectly. I've also got the Tocol ones and they look exactly the same. Sadly they're out of stock as well.
