Brilliant, thankyou I was looking at that one as an option. I should have read the reviews of the Jettech one, lots of complaints of the same problem I had. Cheers

the screen protector just misses the edge of the case, hence it fits nicely and doesn't lift.

What's the biggest difference you have noticed between the two phone please as I am thinking of doing the same? Thank you.

Thankyou again for the tip, picked some up today and fitted. All sorted, no air bubbles at all

It's an incremental upgrade, which is what I expected. It's definitely a fair bit more responsive, not that the 6 was unresponsive, I'd have happily kept it. Battery life is a good bit better I'm on 56%, used since 7am this morning, I'd be needing a charge shortly on the 6. Overall I'm pleased with it, I was just a bit inspired by the 9 leaks a didnt want my hand forces on a potentially expensive 9xl not wanting to go down a screen size if Google copied Apples pricing startegy. Overall pleased I swapped. 2 and a half years again to the 11 sounds workable to me.
I also went from a 6 to an 8 and just day to day it is a much better phone. And of course all the things that come from a few years of releases like a better camera, you get newer features before everyone else etc

No problem, seems a good combo and work well with each other. I deffo got lucky picking them two straight out.

Thank you for the reply. My 6 is feeling really laggy recently especially when I double click the power button to open the camera which I do a lot. It may just be the April update, not sure.
Google Pixel 8a price leak brings good news, new renders out showing an extra case color
There may not be any price increase compared to its predecessor, at least in one market. The Google Pixel 8a just keeps on leaking, and today is no...
Google Pixel 8a marketing materials leak
This is getting ridiculous. The Google Pixel 8a's official announcement is still more than ten days away. And yet, we're now at the stage where we're...

i really wish they would release the A version of pixels at the same time as the normal versions as honestly i'd prob go with the A more often and upgrade more frequently due to the lower cost. i know it may seem silly as it's prob better to pay for an 8 normal, than an 8A, and then a 9A the following year, however i just really don't like holding an expensive device on me that can so easily break. i'd much rather think "ah it's just a £400 phone, don't worry it might break, but it's cheap and i'll get another phone in 6 months", rather than "protect the phone with your life, it costs £800, and has to last 2 years!"
Nationwide insurance covers Mobile and full car breakdown cover and travel insurance. 13 quid a month. Worry free.

For £312 over the course of the phones life.
You're making my point for me in some ways. You buy an £800+ phone and then because it's that much, you have to pay £300 to insure it.
Covers me and my wife and like I said it's for car breakdown and holiday insurance too. Very fair price if you ask me.
Have had this for years now, it's cheaper only for breakfown cover, everything else is a bonus.

I'm sure I used to be able to do this, but can't seem to remember how.
I used to tap an NFC tag and I could enable things like wifi hotspot, etc... but I can't seem to work out how to do it on the 8 Pro and apps don't seem to have permissions to do it. Did they disable that capability?

Not sure if it relates to this, but some reason to make nfc payments now I have to use my finger print or face check, before it would just work fine if the phone was unlocked. Maybe there's any extra step involved which stops the nfc tag from doing what you're after.
I'm also having an issue, but it may be Android related more than pixel.
I search something, it uses the search browser rather than chrome. I'm reading away on a page. I click the "view recent apps" button, and that instantly closes the page I was on. Lost forever. Impossible to swap between apps now when searching something. It's so frustrating as I recently was searching stuff for holiday to be mid search, 50 pages deep, and all was lost.
Anyone else have this issue?

@unwashed potato!
I know in Gmail if your viewing a web page through an email you can press the 3 dots and choose open in chrome, that way you can keep the page in chrome for later. Worth a try on Google search.
Edit. I just put the search bar on my homepage and and did a search which opened chrome for me. I now have no clue lol.
