Was tempted by the OP offer of £100 off, but I just know I'll get it and be unhappy with the camera. Pixel has spoiled me.....

I managed to get a grey 256GB 7T for £382, just couldn't ignore that value against the Pixels!!! Enjoy the new phone man, love the Pixels :cool:

That is a stonking deal tbh, nice one.

How'd you get that?

Fairly sure the answer is no said:

eBay discount code the other week.

Thanks!!

So I'm really liking my new 4XL Panda. Battery has been decent so far but its early days to make that judgement, currently sat at 56% with 3 hours SOT.

Now to decide if I'm going to skin it or case it, or not.

I still think its too expensive though. :|

I think it's always worth having a case of some sort for days or nights out. I'm currently rocking my 7T Pro sans case but that's because I know I'm either in the office or in my living room for most of this week. I'll stick a case on at the weekend.

Is anyone using an eSIM with their Pixel 4? Just wanted to know if there were any issues at all.

Indeed!

So with that, what cases are you guys using?

Deepus · 26 Nov 2019 at 15:54

I've got the SPIGEN Thin fit. Doesn't add too much bulk, and looks like it will protect the edges/sides in a fall....

I'll always get 1 or 2 Spigen cases for whatever phone I have. When I sell my phones on along with the cases people are making a killing with all the spigens they've basically got for free over the years

As mentioned above the Spigen Thin fit is always a good choice and I've always found the Neo Hybrid to be a fans' favourite.

First day's full use, this is with everything on including BT to my watch.

One plus for that! I hate cases normally but have this on most days. It's worth the money.

I also have have the official fabric one which is lovely in the hand but don't often use it.

My 4 XL should come next week excited!!

Anyone using wireless chargers with their Pixels? Other than the official Pixel Stand what are good ones?

I would also like to know

AndyCr15 · 28 Nov 2019 at 14:18

Yeah, because they said it would fast charge of regular fast chargers. I have a couple, but neither have it say 'fast wireless charging' which I assume it should?

V_R · 28 Nov 2019 at 14:44

It needs to be a QI fast wireless charger (upto 11w apparently)

https://www.wirelesspowerconsortium.com/products/7859

I'm just wondering what others might be using, failing that I'm just going to order one I like the look of! TBH it will be for either my desk at work or the bedside table, neither of which need to be particularly fast.

You order one and let me know if it's good

V_R · 29 Nov 2019 at 10:07

Well one of the ones I looked at was this one. It was £18 last night and its only £13 now. Its a sign.

Edit: Anyone else having issues with the latest version of Google Photo's and backing up? It started yesterday or the day before, Just sits there 'Getting ready to back up' but never actually backs up the most recent. Uninstalling updates seems to fix it, and it doesn't seem to be a problem on my old 2XL regardless of version used.

Just me or anyone else seen this?
