I noticed it when I unboxed it, I kinda wanna peel this off, but I'm not sure if I should. The S Pen seems less responsive than the Note 2, almost like you gotta press harder.

Nope that's the protective film... Peel it off and everything S Pen will work much better.

Are you sure it's a film, cause it's on there pretty good.
I think they meant the plastic protector when you first open the box, but that has writing on it. You're talking about the actual screen itself. It's a chemical coating. You can't "peel" it off. It will wear off in time (Like five years. LOL). That's the reason you don't see it smudging that much either.

Hi OP3 owners! Need your advice, I put my eye on OP but made a little research and see that there is problems with screen protectors for it because of rounded edge. What is your opinion?
Now I hesitate and thinking about mi5
Thank you!
well there is a screen protector already on the phone preinstalled. but its not glass if thats what you want
Yeah, but as I have read it is not the best, and the screen is the weakest phone part and need to be protected... So i just dont knmow what to do. I wonder how good is Gorilla 4, can it protect screen from general factors for 2 years?
I got myself a imitation orzly kinda screenprotector.
It works perfect edge to edge. It has a bit of rainbow when the screen is not on.

Listen all screens that have a small curve have this issues with a sp. That my tgsp sometimes gives me a little bit of rainbow. Yeah I can live with that. It is way better then replacing screens after a drop. 90℅ of the time rainbow ain't there.
Anyways. You want a perfect settled screenprotector. 2 options. Get a flat screen. Or get a foil based screenprotector. Noting along the side will be 100% perfect. But hey just my 2 cents.

If you take care of your device it's more than good enough.
My previous phone had Gorilla Glass 2 - after 3 years the screen still looks the same as on day one. The phone was kept in the same pocket as keys and never had any screen protectors or cases. Dropped twice: once from car seat level onto its side (onto asphalt), once from pocket level flat on its back (onto concrete tiles).
I'd dare saying that Gorilla Glass is pretty damn durable ? It will survive anything short of direct hit. But then again, even screen protectors won't do much against that.

No problem here
There are two small dark spots that look like that are on top of the glass? But they wont clean off no matter what i do, so it has to be under the glass. Should I RMA?

I called Google and they said it was probably two dead pixels and they are doing an RMA. But honestly it looked more like dust under the glass to me, or maybe even chipped glass?

I'd say dead pixels too, but you have to look very close (I use a magnifying glass) to see the shape. In any case RMA is the way to go. Bummer. Hope you have a spare phone.

Yeah I still have my Nexus 6p new pixel comes Tuesday. Thanks
Same problem my pixel 2 i have only one black dot inside the screen.. did you get RMA device ? Its new or refurbished?
Hey there,
just received my phone and i was a little dissapointed how the side of the display feels. Do you guys also have a sharp plastic "bumper" surrounding the display? Especially on the corners it stands out. does not feel very premium.. Already thinking of helping with a cutter knife
Is it only me?
The pre-installed screen protector??? Is that what you're talking about???

No I removed that allready. Between the glas and the metall frame there is a plastic filling which will work as shock absorber. This is normal. But is feels like it is too high. So I feel it when moving my finger over it as a sharp edge especially on the corners.

Ah ok. Sorry, mate. Mine is perfect with no sharp edges. Just checked. Sounds like dodgy build quality on your particular phone.

I cannot imagine there can be such a flaw. Are you sure that its actually sharp?
There is a flat part to the metal before the plastic starts but its perfectly aligned.

On my phone it's exactly the same. The plastic is "sharp".
To be honest i can live with that but it is interesting that most devices don't have this problem.

Really odd. Maybe other just aren't as sensitive as we are..
I know exactly what you are talking about. Between the glass screen and the metal body, there is a plastic gasket that sits ever so slightly above the glass and creates a sharp feeling.
I'm not sensitive, but I do notice it. Especially near the corners. BH

At least good to know I`m not alone. Biggest Problem ist not the feel of it but that this narrow gap which is formed between the glass and the gasket hold dirt easily and looks preety disgusting

Build quality can differ quite "sharply" between devices. I remember when I got the iPhone 4 on release and it had holes in the rubber seal between the screen and bezel. A replacement from the same shop that day had no such issue but had uneven screen placement and light bleed. It happens.
As I see it the problem is not with the gasket but the glas. it is more rounded on the corners.
Hi all,
We all know how hard it is to find a good Tempered glass for a smartphone with curving edge display,
That also the case with our Pixel 2 XL
Luckily, finally i managed to found tempered glass that has full adhesive, case friendly, and doesn't break our bank account, :laugh:
Here's the product : Tempered Glass for Google Pixel 2XL Screen Protector FULL GLUE Case Friendly Premium Screen Glass Protector For Google Pixel2XL
http://s.aliexpress.com/qqYVbYFZ?fromSns=Copy to Clipboard
(from AliExpress Android)
Price : $11.77 include free shipping,
It took week till it arrive to my door. Item shipped from Hongkong, am living in Indonesia
Packaging : its good and safe. Tempered glass placed inside a sterofoam box .
Installation : Now, this is the tricky part, although it has full adhesive, the installation wont go as simple as installing other (ex iPhone) full adhesive TG. It (the adhesive) tends to spread unevenly causing bubble.
The trick is to go from the corner, while keep the other corner floating, press the glass with two or more finger ensuring no bubble appear in the process.
It will take sometimes till you get it right with zero bubble,
But the result is rewarding. It perfectly fit, and can be used with cases as well. I use it with original google fabric case.
Check some pictures bellow :

Yes. Doesn't look like it cuts off the edges too badly. What I was waiting on but not sure I want to deal with Ali.

It was quite gambling for me as well, lol,
But since i have no other option available in my country, u guess i have nothing to lose for 12 bucks.
Now am waiting a case to arrive
Looks good. I just don't understand why they make the top and bottom black instead of clear if it is full adhesive.
I'm guessing this is the same product as HeroShield. Looks the same. My HeroShield should arrive in a few weeks, so we'll see.
Does it have a cut out for the proximity sensor? I don't mean just a transparent window, proper gap/no glass bit over the sensor. I can't see from the photos
how is the screen feel and oleophobic coating? Does the finger glide eaily on the screen?

Its because although the adhesive on the display area is full, there's lil gap on the edge area where it doesn't have the adhesive, i guess due to the curve, it still not possible to create fully transparent glass protector with full adhesive. I never seen one for popular phone like iphone either. All iphone x glass protector has coloring as well.
The only real transparent protector with full adhesive is whitestone probably, but thats using low viscosity loca to begin with, so its different story, not to mention the skyhigh price.

It doesn't. It have a transparent window with adhesive under . It stick perfectly though, thus no interference to the proximity function. I try make a call and place finger over the sensor, it work normally

Nothing extraordinary regarding the coating i guess. Finger glide nicely just like on original screen. But it collecting fingerprint overtime. (Am one of those guy who have wet hand all the time though, so my experience with fingerprint might be severe than how it should) :silly:
ordered! hope it will arrive soon!
btw do you have to tear it out to re position it when you are applying on the screen?

You need to lift it off if you already stick large area of it prior to reposition,
Positioning is quite easy though, the harder part is to push the glass slow and even.
I'd almost be interested, but I try to stay away from protectors that cover the proximity sensor. I know it works sometimes, I've just been bitten by it too many times on phones where it causes issues.
Here's HeroShield's install video. Seems like they include a squeegee with theirs to help with the bubbles.
Mine comes today, so I'll see what it's like too.

Can see from the video that it has glass covering the sensor, so it will be hit or miss. Some will have no issues with the sensor. Others will.
Mine will be here in a few weeks, so I'll see then too.
Hi OP... Are you able to post some picts of the top and bottom edge of the phone? Or a pict that can somehow show the gap of the side of the protector to where it meets the screen. Just curious to see if there is a slight gap as there is no adhesive there. Since I go case less, I am afraid I will always crack the glass because of this gap. Thanks in advance!
Something like this ?
Those picts are good!!! thanks!!!
