**** The Official Google Pixel 2/Pixel 2 XL Thread ****

[thewanted]

Weird, my BT Senn's are fine and never skipped a beat. Might be a headphone problem more than a phone one?

You might be right. They've been reconnecting to my iPhone 6S all morning, but I've just got back to my desk a few seconds ago and they didn't

EDIT: I'm speaking to Amazon via live chat now, and they've admitted that it's a common issue with the Sony WH-1000MX2 headphones

Download: Google Camera with Night Sight for Google Pixel 3, Pixel 2, and Pixel

https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-night-sight-google-camera-review/


Anyone else tried this yet?

I have, think it's a bit slower than the standard app on my P2

It would be good to see some OcUK user examples of photos taken with this.

Did download this on my pixel 2 XL.

Tested out on my unlit driveway and it is impressive!

First picture auto mode, no flash and everything left as is. 2nd picture night mode, no changes to anything else.

 

[V_R]

Wow, that is impressive. Given what its done and what it had to work with I'm surprised it kept as much detail as it did.

 

[Dirk Diggler]

Yes, that's impressive for sure. I'm looking forward to playing with that on my P2XL when they roll it out.

 

[michty_me]

Looks like a good little feature!!

Surely that's a picture from during the day... Or am I missing something?

Long exposure. Night shot.

It's not lol but you thinking that shows that the mode flow a good job.

Any one own the Google knit cases for the Pixel 2?

Do you like it, recommend it?

Does it get wet when it rains? I mean remain wet for a while?

Does it have a lip to protect the face of the phone if it falls on it's face?

It's either a Google case or I go with my usual Spigen slim case.

 

[V_R]

I think they look hideous.

I've got the Spigen rugged armour case. Saved my phone many times. It's quite a small case too actually.

Got the colour matched one for my Kinda Blue 2.

Love it, would recommended it to a degree (isn't as grippy as Spigen Hybrid I mainly use).

It's been slightly wet, but doesn't really stay wet. Never tried rain dancing with it though!

It's got a lip top and sides, but the bottom is open... Would be spectacular bad luck to drop and hit the open section, but it's been fine for me.

Picks up grease and dirt a little, as would any case like this, but that's part of the charm to be honest.

YMMV etc.

Thanks.

I went for a Spigen after all for the waterproofing.

 

[V_R]

While we're taking cases, what are folk using theses days?

Spigen rugged armour for me.

 

[FishLicker]

I’ve got the black fabric case. My favourite ever case for a phone. I’ve not had it get properly drenched but I can’t imagine it being that bad, its got a protective shell underneath the fabric anyway. Feels very nice and comfortable in the hand and offers adequate protection.
