I am on my second s8 plus .first one had yellow tint on the bottom half of the screen. Phone number 2 has the red screen issue.
I spoke with samsung today and I was told the update for the uk is coming in the next 2 weeks . A hour later I phoned back and told them I want my phone replaced
And was told I would get a new one on Tuesday.
The update only works in adaptive mode and some people have reported that the issue still remains after the update and others are happy with the fix .
If my 3rd s8 plus has any issues it's refund time for me . Not paying nearly £800 for a subpar product . For that money the phone has to be spot on and if samsung can't make the screen perfect that should reflect on the price . 499 at the most .

@tredstone79 i got mine through carphone warehouse on upgrade. Do i have to go through them or through samsung direct do you know? Thanks

My update came through about 2 hours ago. On EE

I have called samsung uk who straight away are delivering a new one tommorow. As you say the update just helps in adaptive mode and the others are still red as you say. If it doesnt work again then il get a refund if i can.

Hi Steve. I dealt with car phone warehouse when I had the s6 plus that had a yellow tint .
I went in store and none of the staff would admit the screen was yellow .they said if they return it to samsung and they find no fault car phone has to pay out of there own pocket.
They advised me to take it to a samsung store and have it checked out but the samsung store couldn't help me because I didn't buy it from them.so in the end I sold it on eBay. Car phone is a terrible place to buy a phone from.
I purchased my s8 direct from Samsung uk online .I phoned them about the red tint and said I wasn't happy and they are collecting mine on Tuesday and at the same time giving me my new phone. So it's a front door exchange.
If you need to return yours to Car phone insist on a exchange and not a repair. I wasn't even tempted to deal with Car phone when they offered the free speaker for buying the s8.

I got mine replaced twice.
First time it was dropping calls randomly but screen was perfect, replacement came with the terrible red tint issue and finally third replacement is fine.
Very happy with it now., i'm considering flashing stock rom.

Got the update last night too, on 3 but pretty sure their phones are unlocked so not sure if that makes a difference.
It has seemed to solve the problem after a bit of fiddling though. First reboot took forever though thought the thing had died

I've got the update come through this morning but nothing wrong with my screen should I still update anyone know please?

Yeah update as it has other fixes. It won't change your display unless you play with settings.

I've received it - first last week adds some RGB customisations and this one today adds curve customisations. However my screen is fine.

i flashed mine to EVR (UK EE) and got the updated straight away. seems that carriers aren't necessarily in the dark ages this time around?

I think carriers are getting hassle from customers so worked quicker to get it out.

Ordered mine today (pre order actually)

and am looking forwards to receiving it. I know the processor is only the 845 but I am getting it primarily for the camera setup as I take lots of photos with my phones. Anyone else pre order theirs yet? I live north of Boston, Ma.

You can also just walked into a BestBuy and get it for $599 this week. I think I need to do that to get a hands-on and check out the camera app speed. A few seconds delay between the shots sounds a little too much.

I currently have the device and downloaded a pixel camera apk that seems compatible with it. Though question I must ask, does all five cameras work on third party camera apps as well… (night scape on this device would be fantastic). Nokia 9 five cameras’ design using a compatible pixel 3 camera apk would make me not purchase the google pixel 3 xl.

I picked mine up at Best Buy last Friday (March 1). Some locations had them available.

What are your thoughts? I picked one up as well, but haven't opened the box yet.

I ordered one from B&H, not sure when they ship but I'm happy just knowing I have one reserved for now.

I ordered one from B&H too! Hopefully they get some stock this week. Might arrive faster than the S10!

Very Excited.
I'm in the UK and I pre-ordered on the 28th Feb.
I have been on the fence about buying a new phone for around a year and I hadn't seen anything about this phone before the 27th. It hauled me down off the fence quicker than I expected, especially when I saw the UK price with the earbuds thrown in.
Really excited about the potential of the camera and the early review shots have looked great.

Although Best Buy has it on hand(at some stores at least) I preferred to order from BH Photo . Best Buy charges $25 for returns while BH does not charge for returns and it is free shipping to/from them. I have bought a lot of gadgets from Best Buy and BH and , BH photo usually has the best customer service. Of course BH does not charge taxes either (they are located in NYC) and I live in Massachusettes. Shipping from BH photo , when supply is in, is 1-3 days.

Looks like B&H may ship tomorrow according to an email I just got:
"Released in limited qty 03/05/19"

Also in the UK, ordered March 3rd and it is saying expected shipping date is April 1st, which is later than some other regions. I need to replace my S7 Edge and I'm seeing this device as a bit of an upgrade over the OnePlus 6T. I suppose I could wait for the OnePlus 7 but I expect that device to be more expensive and have no wireless charging. Also the camera is a bonus, and HDR10 support on the screen will be interesting to try.
Nokia are also claiming HDR video recording, though I am not sure what that really means yet.

Mine should be here tomorrow! Super excited

Interesting to hear that the phone is available in some markets. Ordered mine, but no indication on when the delivery starts in the Netherlands. Some rumors say 15 March, others early April.

Best Buy, but it looks like they're sold out of them now. I originally did B&H, but on Tuesday I saw BB was promising delivery date of the 7th so I canceled my order with B&H and went with BB.

I just got the charge from B&H, and invoice says it has been sent to the warehouse. I'm guessing they have stock and will ship soon.

I pre-ordered mine from Best Buy on the 3rd of March, at around 3am. I received it yesterday (7th) from UPS at around 3pm. I am near Cleveland Ohio. I chose the free shipping, surprisingly I was expecting UPS to hand it off to USPS because it was sure-post method, but UPS ended up delivering it. I have to go to the AT&T store today to get a nano SIM, my current/old phone was a micro SIM, so I have yet to power it up and trying it out. I will later today *crosses fingers*.

Pre ordered in Belgium on 25 feb . First the releasedate was 01 april , but yesterday got mail that it moved to 11 march ....

Wow, just got mine today and it's a real beauty. I am just charging it up now and will install all my apps once done charging. I am looking forwards to taking it through its paces

General Pixel 7 Orders Open

Made an order for a black 256gb 7 Pro. $999 minus $540 trade in for a 6 Pro in 256gb and also received a $200 Google store credit promotion.

I got my order in! 2 black 256gb. 1 for me and my girl.

Hazel, 512GB here. $275 for a Pixel 3XL trade is not too shabby, considering they are going for well under $200 on Swappa. Guess I can use the $200 credit for a tablet, or nest device.

Hazel here. Something different as the last 6 Pixels were black.

Here in Canada, they're offering a whopping $71 for 3XL. Why bother?

I did a 256gb snow from Best Buy in the USA. This is the first time I have a viable trade in option (pixel 6 128gb) so I signed up for that too but we'll see what the final offer is. My pixel 6 is pristine but I'll wait for the in person offer and decide - $480 seems high and I just don't trust anything these days. Got the $200 e-gift card for my mac mini purchase down the road. Hopefully no faulty first device like my Pixel 6 that I had to return and the 2nd one worked like it should have.

Got mine from the Google store. Traded in my P6P for $480. Here's to hoping that the radio is better on the P7P.

In the UK the trade in was £320 for P6P so not worth (when £500 on ebay) it but i assume thats because the watch comes with pre orders, which makes it a really good deal. Upgraded on the strength of the macro and zoom lenses and hoping the caonectivity/modem is better

Preorderded the 128GB in black with EE, and will get the Pixel Watch LTE chucked into that for free

Does anyone have modem information used on the P7P?

Google hasn't offered any info yet, there is just the leak/romour that the P7 Pro will use a new/unannounced Samsung Exynos 5300 modem.
According to
First details of Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro come roaring out: 2nd-gen Tensor, new Samsung modem
9to5Google has uncovered concrete details of the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, including the devices’ codenames, Tensor chip, and Samsung modem.
9to5google.com
"GS201 chip will feature a – currently unreleased – Samsung modem with the model number “g5300b.” For comparison, the Pixel 6 lists its modem as “g5123b,” which is the Exynos Modem 5123. Given the model number, we believe Google’s second-generation Tensor chip will have the Exynos Modem 5300"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Since Google doesn't offer any info on their website about the modem, we'll probably have to wait for a teardown/review where the modem either gets read out in software, or someone takes the phone apart and can tell us what's inside.

Still in wait and watch mode.... for now.

Ordered White P7P and Matte Watch. I'll take the $480 from Google for my P6P and use the $200 for Buds Pro.

P7P 256GB Hazel (time to mix it up a bit: all my prior phones have been black) and P7 128GB Obsidian. $400 credit (=$800 total) at the Google Store for each of two Pixel 5s 128GB.

What's the consensus on the color for the 7 Pro?
I just pre-ordered snow (or white), but the hazel with bronze accent looks really good also.

P7P 128 Obsidian here.

I preordered a Pixel 7 Pro 256GB in Hazel with a free Pixel Watch LTE from the UK Google Store. That was too good an offer to pass up.

I am in the same boat as you. I grabbed a Snow P7P 256GB model and am trading in my Black P6P 256GB. The remaining price had disgruntled me at first, however, I couldn't resist doing the upgrade to what appears to be a device that has the few extra features that would cause the phone to be perfect for 2-3 years of my usage.
I am, however, still rather worried about the colors... I was so torn between the Snow and Hazel models - and I don't know if going with the white one was the wrong/right choice... I can't really see them in person first and so I'm torn by only getting to see a few quick glimpses of the backs of the phones in some of the online video overviews...

P7P on pre-order with LTE watch as gift on O2 UK

Question Pixel Tablet ordered

I just ordered the new Pixel Tablet with 256GB. It will work nicely with my Pixel 7 Pro and replace my aging Lenovo Tab 4 8 plus.
$599 with the dock, less the $200 credit from my P7P purchase last October.
Delivery is June 20.
Is anyone getting one?

Hi,
Defintely want to get one to match with my P7P but I am wondering about the stylus functionalities though.
I saw in the caracteristics of the Pixel Tablet that it supports USI2.0 but I don't know that much this standard.
Anybody knows anything about how that'll work? Anything comparable to what Samsung does?
Thanks

I ordered one arriving on the 20th too. Haven't had an Android tablet in a long time and looking forward to blocking ads which makes my iPad so annoying.
Hope it's just like my P7 Pro with a bigger screen

Just got a notice that my Pixel tablet will be delivered tomorrow. Too bad that I am out of town until Friday.

That sucks, however, you've got another thing to look forward to upon your return. Mine came today and I'm setting it up now. New factory image posted, as well.

Are you going to root? Glad the factory image is up in case I bork it.

Did anyone have delays in their order? I have a vacation coming up and they claim to be delivering at the day before.

Question Who Ordered the Pixel 7A?

I`m curious who ordered, I ordered the Coral 7a, I love brighter color phones, and once I saw the Coral color I had to have it lol, I already have my tracking number and hopefully be delivered tomorrow.

Great thanks. Let us know your review when you get it. I know that initially it will take a little time to settle but give us a running total as it were.

Ive been using OP 10 Pro and Im looking to upgrade this to the Pixel 7a. Ill mostly purchase the device by today or tomorrow!

Just ordered one on Amazon - originally put in one for the coral 7A on the store but waiting 12 days for shipping is pretty stupid. I do miss the free buds and coral colour though; I should have the sea 7A by tomorrow.
Using the F3 right now, it's solid when with a ROM but power button has been acting up as of late. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at least partly into the 7A to have the chance to rock an otterbox again lol

No, just enjoy your purchase. He's a Pixel hater (for the most part) and a Google foil. Don't let him get to you. Look at his previous posts and you'll see what I'm talking about. Almost every chance he gets it's bashing Pixel/Google. I think it's going to be a great phone and well under the cost of the P8. Let us know how you like it.
One quick example but there are a ton of them. He's certainly entitled to his own opinion but it gets a little much sometimes.
Will pixel 7a be 499?
Heard lots of people talking about 499 dollars? WIl lit better than galaxy a54?

received my 7A 2 days after release. coming from an Asus Zenfone 8 that died on me with no warning. feels pretty good to go back to pixel phones!

It runs great, I haven't had any lag or stutters, I love it.... Battery is decent , I`m no power user, it`s very snappy with the 8gb ram compared to the 6gb the 6A , and love the coral color, I rooted it and using Magsik and AOSP MOD, repainter app., has wireless charging that the Pixel 6A didn`t have, I liked the pixel 7A enough , I actually sold my S23 ultra yesterday, but I do have the new Sony Xperia 1 V on preorder, in my opinion the Pixel 7A is a great buy!!
Edit: also it has face unlock, which the pixel 6A doesn`t, still has the plastic back, but doesn`t bother me.
