Is that Best Buy? Also, the locks on those phones look like something you’d see in a surgical tent on a civil war battlefield.

The Obsidian looks far darker in person than on that big billboard pic , and man look at all those fingerprints on it. Not a fan of black phones and im glad i ordered the Lemongrass. It looks phenominal in those pics.
I havent ordered a case yet and now those transparent cases are looking better.

Definitely look darker in person to me I don't know if it was the angle of the lighting.. most definitely fingerprints ..I tried to roll with my P6P naked and it was not so bad for fingerprints but uncomfortable to go caseless..Obsidian is darker than Stormy Black which looks grey..

These phones would look MUCH better in a matte / frosted back. Those fingerprints are just awful. I know it’s a display model so it will have been man handled, but for the 8, if they stick with this same design - they’d be smart to ditch the high gloss.

Even if they kept the camera bar glossy.

Agree ..Pixel 7 has the matte sides which look really nice ..I'd be happier with non glossy backs too


Hazel seemed to not show so many fingerprints and I would think Snow would be the same

Good move and I've heard nothing but good things about that case on the previous phones...

I am getting 10% back in Google store credit. So will be using that for the Pixel Bud Pros.
Essentially, the 7 Pro, the Pixel Watch and the Buds Pro will cost me £630. I think that’s a cracking deal.

Nice! What did you liker og the display on the 7 Pro? Was it almost flat? Kinda like the s22U or was the curve less or more pronounced?
It does feel a little less than P6P ..I might make a trip back before pickup day with 6 in hand to see .feels really light too ...didn't pay attention to specs but is the weight down ..


Okay same weight so must be my Google case causing me to think so ..I just noticed 6P is P Oled vs OLED posted on here ..

I think so! Especially when the internet (and Apple fan boys) are bitching about the “bezels” and comparing it to the Apple Watch. The only Apple Watch that looks nice is the stainless steel (IMO) and I’m pretty sure they start at £600 for the Watch alone.

And the AW will never be as intuitive as Google’s as you have to deal with Siri *shudders* 😏😂

Is that a 45mm Apple Watch you are wearing next to the Pixel Watch? What are your thoughts on the Watch screen quality and overall size? I really want to like the watch but it just looks so small compared to other smartwatches, and I don't know if I like that or not.
