This one.

On a side note, there appears to be some speculation that Google is using 3 different versions of G3 chips in the pro, standard 8 and 8a. I assume different bins of the G3 chip.

Copied the text from the post...

Seems like google split tensor G3 into 3 versions by different packaging:
G3 Lite iPoP { P 8a }Interposer Package on Package
G3 Fo-PLP { P 8 }Fan Out Panel Level Packaging
G3 Pro Fo-WLP { P8 Pro }Fan Out Wafer Level Packaging

I'm taking the opportunity to move network when changing phone. Hopefully it all arrives around the same time.

CPW for me so I expect it this weekend really as best. Won't be in their warehouse until Thursday then they have to post it out.

Same for me

So with the 8/8 Pro now able to use face unlock with banking apps, do the banks themselves have to opt in for it to be used or will it let me use it as default?

As long as the app is using the up to date Android biometrics framework then it'll just work AFAIK.

Also cpw (well idmobile, but it's cpw really) and I'm pretty sure they send them out almost like drop shipping.

It's what happened with my pixel 6 anyway.

But yes, if I get it by Friday I'll be happily suprised. Not heard anything yet apart from the pre contract and money out.

Ah right I didn't know it was a "drop shipping" set up.

Their email says....

What happens next?

Once stock has arrived at our warehouse, we will dispatch your order as soon as possible.

That's what made me think it's going to them first.

Hopefully as you say, comes straight to us instead.

that would also explain why they will just alocate you watch randomly as what they have in stock...

Actually I just looked back, I pre-ordered my P7P with Currys last year (effectively same company as CPW) and it was delivered on Thursday the 13th Oct, which I believe was the same day as the Google orders landed. Only difference I can see is that was a sim free purchase and this time I've gone for a contract, not sure if that slows things down or not.

For those that haven't ordered cases yet, Spigen, Caseology, Ringke etc.. all discounted on Prime Day deals this morning.
