The official tablet (and other useless electronics) thread!

FWIW, loving the Pixel2 so far and i don't regret not getting the 2XL at all, this is plenty big for a phone i'm carrying in my pocket at all times. the charge times are extremely fast with the USB cord, you can pile on 30-40% of a charge within 30 minutes. Oreo is fast and intuitive. the camera lives up to the hype. the AMOLED screen looks great, i'm sure sticklers would fault it at a larger size but for a smallish form factor its very pretty. one thing i didn't realize is how light it is, its lighter than my old iphone4s despite being almost twice as big.

i did have to dick around with one backend solution off the bat - downloading an obscure update to get "portrait mode" on the selfie camera, which obviously i need for all my glamour shots. the stock plastic texture on the phone case is super slippery if you have dry hands. i have to unlearn years of looking for the "screen off" button on the top of the phone like apple does vs. having it on the side. still learning about the google ecosystem on this as well.

picked up a whie Caseology Legion for the stormtrooper feel. the protection level/size is a nice compromise between function and low bulk. debating on a screen protector...don't really feel like i need it and its seems like a lot of them are cheap garbage.
