If I was allowed, I could link to a video of the Pixel XL and Pixel 2 XL side by side through a polarised filter and you would see the Pixel XL goes very dark as you rotate the filter. Both were AMOLED screens I believe.

I'm not 100% sure. I'm with Three and when connected to WiFi it does say WiFi calling enabled but yesterday I was having trouble making phone calls at home, have rubbish signal last few weeks as they keep doing works on their masts round here. It was soon after I got home so not sure whether phone was connected to WiFi yet.
Put phone in airplane mode and switch on WiFi manually. It will use wifi calling. Try again
Yep! just checked. Never used it on any phone myself. But it is available. Needs to be toggled on to work.
I'll test it later, it does say it's enabled so it should work.
Bad business for them, they're banking on 50% of people forgetting about claiming.
It's pretty standard in this industry to have to claim. Same with bank switching. You claim if you want it.
The fabric case just turned up. Went for the navy blue dark grey one. It's nice and will use this or the Spigen think one going forward. I was gonna send back as £35 is a lot of money but it's really nice and adds a bit more protection for when I am exercising. If you can get it discounted I would say it's a really well made case.
Has anyone experienced the below with the app drawer on the standard launcher?
I'm finding the launcher is showing icons for services that don't have a UI, e.g. Galaxy Watch plugin and the legacy Solid Explorer unlock app. Previously, these were hidden from the app drawer.

As in the top line your most recently used apps ?

So, its probably been a week or so, how are the new owners finding it so far?
Love mine. Really slick and fast. Face unlock just works each and every time. Battery is great on my XL. Also android auto seems a lot quicker in my car for some reason. 90htz screen is lovely when kicks in but will welcome the upcoming patch to control it a little better.
Apart from that no complaints and very happy.

Sounds good, glad to see you're happy with it
I was reading last night that the Face unlock uses the standard biometric API so we just need the app developers to make a very simple change. This is probably my main remaining issue with getting one at the moment, hopefully the banks and whatnot will soon update these.

@FishLicker you can't buy now that the Chromebook offer has come and gone... You'll need to wait for a price reduction now, surely?

i don't think he was planning on buying within the next few days
Really happy with mine too, haven't had it long enough to really report on battery yet (only received it Monday), but face unlock, higher refresh rate display and more robust feeling design are adding finesse to the Pixel 3 experience.
Face unlock adoption really is down to developers, LastPass have already added support for example but Santander doesn't support it yet.

Correct. I've just got my 2XL back from RMA so I'm waiting to see if any good deals materialise, and just wanted to gauge opinions so far... and so far so good it seems, as long as ones expectations are set accordingly!
