Nearly dropped the damn thing already, who thought glossy sides were a good idea? Ordered the fabric case, and the wireless charging stand because apparently I have more money than sense today...

The fabric case is nice. I have one and use it regularly .Currently running mine naked at the moment as love the feel. However it is slippery and I feel like I am gambling when naked with it !

I have the Pixel stand. I would recommend it for £50, it comes with another fast charging plug, so you wont lose your other one to power it. It charges quite fast still, has a few features you can setup etc like a google assistant device although I have it just set to nothing at all as I use it to charge when in bed.

Thanks mate I might go for it. I am guessing it will be fully compatible with the P4 ! Better be !

Minor quibble really, but the fingerprint reader is a bit cack.

Caveat here is that I climb 3 times a week so strip the skin off my fingertips regulatory. My old Moto G5 would manage to read my print again after half a day or so, but the 3 XL isn't having it so far. Face unlock would have been nice!

Fingerprint faultless for me in the month I’ve had mine.

Fingerprint has also been faultless for me apart from when it did some DIY and flattened my fingerprints on sandpaper. I think it's quite fair it wouldn't work as intended in that situation.

A good face unlock option would be a nice backup though i agree.

Like I said, I strip all the skin off my fingertips three times a week, so I'll cut it done slack. Adding a 'new' fingerprint for each recovery day, seems to be doing the trick so far.

Found myself using assistant a lot more now I can activate with voice. Is there a Dot equivalent yet with a 3.5mm output?

It's clearly not April the 1st

We have a P4 thread. That is also an obvious April fools troll video.

It's about as useful as the last video he posted

Steady on people, the Google bot isn't here any more... We can all get along!

Hopefully the flashing screen is a thing of the past with April's update.

Mine is just updating now.

I do like the monthly update cycle. They have certainly kept it going well and seems a better way of doing things.

I jumped on the Q BETA, so hopefully there'll be an update this week for that too

So far so good. Few apps that dont work, mainly banking apps, or ones that normally flag if you had a rooted device.

Beta 2 was pushed yesterday.
