      Agreed. I would cancel my pixel 7 order if this has a normal screen

      Agreed, I hate curved screens (work in the phone repair industry)

      when S8 / S9 were the biggest thing i saw so many screens smashed on the apex of the curve.

      When the curve add only style points and nothing practical..

      ..its a pass for me

      • Phoebus on 05/09/2023 - 12:38

        I'm pretty sure Samsung persists with it only because they discovered a clever way to sell lots of screens.

      • macrocephalic on 05/09/2023 - 13:03

        I'm the same with glass backs. Glass is on the front for a reason, it's on the back to make you feel like you need to replace your phone sooner.

      • Pootie Tang on 05/09/2023 - 14:22

        Hey mate, do you mind if I PM you a question pertaining to a repair I got carried out. Just your thoughts. Thanks in advance regardless

          Sure, PM away

    • dontpanic on 05/09/2023 - 12:57

      Agree. After owning a Mate 20 Pro and a Pixel 6 Pro, I wouldn't ever go back to a curved screen. They're just so hard to protect from drops and they offer no real benefit (I actually find they detract from viewing). Curved glass screen protectors require UV glue to attach, which is a painful, messy, time consuming process. And the curved edge is harder to properly protect with a case, making the phone far more vulnerable to drops. Repairs are also prohibitively expensive, meaning you basically have to get a new phone if you sustain any significant screen damage.

      With that said, this price is pretty good - if I were in the market for a new phone and on a budget, I might make an exception.

      • stedmaster on 05/09/2023 - 16:19

        I had a mate 20 pro and after using its curve I find other phones that don't have a curve feel sharp, ridged and cheap, as it was easier and more comfortable to use the phone one handed and it felt a lot sleeker.

        I had a clear TPU case and didn't really drop it, it was only my choice to wear shorts with useless pockets while riding a bike that was beginning of its demise, it slid down the road on its face.

        • dontpanic on 05/09/2023 - 16:42

          None of us intentionally drop our phones. Somehow the Mate 20 survived, but my Pixel 6 Pro was my first ever phone to suffer screen damage - it was just too damn hard to protect. Using a Pixel 7 now - the smaller screen makes it easier to use one handed, and the flat screen means it takes less than a minute to install a screen protector and TPU cases provide excellent side and corner coverage.

    • Sinnerator on 06/09/2023 - 08:15

      put a case on it, will give it bit of an edge

  • Flognuts on 05/09/2023 - 12:18

    Seriously considering selling my Iphone 13 Pro max and buying one of these (first and last apple product I ever buy)

    • ihfree on 05/09/2023 - 12:20

      That's quite a change. Probably wouldn't be too bad other than camera performance.

      OOI, What's the problem with the iPhone 13 Pro Max?

      • kungfuman on 05/09/2023 - 12:22

          No phone will get colours right in all situations.

          Phones post process heavily and make a guess as to what a user would want. No system will be perfect.

      I bought an iPhone 4 and have been on the Android bandwagon since Samsung Galaxy S3. I recently bought a Galaxy S21 FE 5G and was disappointed with the experience and considered going back to iPhone. Currently running with the Motorola Edge 30 Fusion and it's a great phone for the price.

        yeah that was the beuty of it last time motorola used to get updates directly from google.

      • Magpye on 05/09/2023 - 16:43

        Had mine for nearly a year, with the latest update on June 24 2023.

        Prior to that it got updates on:

        • Rysta on 05/09/2023 - 16:52

          Maybe they've gotten their shit together recently, but my Moto G5+ was promised two major OS upgrades and got 0.

          Are those major upgrades or just security updates?

          • Magpye on 05/09/2023 - 16:58

            @Rysta: Security updates, to the best of my knowledge.

        Got no problems with my X3 either, although a camera upgrade would be nice.

        Hard to resist this price

        • hexedhavoc on 05/09/2023 - 15:37

          Also got an X3 pro… I read a lot of novels on my phone so figure an oled would actually be a lot better for eye strain.. hmm

    • macrocephalic on 05/09/2023 - 13:06

      This will actually do VoLTE and VoWIFI - unlike the poco.

      I had an X3 and it was good, but the battery swelled and I accidentally broke the fingerprint sensor ribbon cable while replacing the battery.

      • chyawala on 05/09/2023 - 13:33

        The X3 Pro does both Volte and Vowifi, at least it does on the Pixel ROM.

      Hyperbole much? 128GB is perfectly fine for most average users. App cache and photos/video tend to be the biggest storage issues. App cache can be wiped and photos/videos can easily be backed up to the cloud or local storage, and then deleted from the phone.

    How do tempered glass screen protectors work with this sort of screen?

    • mangobango on 05/09/2023 - 12:39
      +1

      They usually come with a glue to squeeze on, then you drop the screen on top and use a little UV light (also included) to dry it.

      It's a bit tricky so definitely look up some tutorials before doing it yourself, but yeah not as simple as the flat ones.

      • shxhshzhz on 05/09/2023 - 12:41

        Thanks sounds complicated. Might pass.

        • arsenal1 on 05/09/2023 - 12:58
          +3

          I have installed using this method on my P30 Pro. The main issue I found is the glue supplied with the glass is never enough, I have now bought extra glue from Amazon for future installs. @mangobango is correct the install is a little tricky and unfortunately over time the glass can also lift depending on case you use, movement in pocket etc.

        • Pootie Tang on 05/09/2023 - 14:23

          You can find ones that are curved but the glu is BS

    • codename47 on 05/09/2023 - 16:59

      There are finally a few options now a days. 1st is with UV light method. Bit tricky but I would avoid. I recently got another one that has full coverage and doesn't need any special skills :) . Can share the link if required

      • shxhshzhz on 05/09/2023 - 17:19

    • TiredKitty78 on 06/09/2023 - 14:09

      I have….never never ever had to use any sort of 'glue' on a tempered glass screen? You just get some little cloth to wipe dust then drop it on the screen and it stays…..
      But i've always bought cheapos for relatively cheap phones so maybe i haven't got 'real tempered glass' or something.
      But all those protectors have served me well.

  • GoonSack69 on 05/09/2023 - 12:34

  • ThePhychotic on 05/09/2023 - 12:38

    I Have a poco F1, thats still running fine but im considering purchasing this or the Pixel 6a. Are either of these phones enough of an upgrade to justify the purchase?

    • hippo2s on 06/09/2023 - 20:08
      +1

      I would say yes. Battery life has come a long way in general but pixel phones don't have good battery life (the Google's own chip isn't as efficient as Snapdragon). Screens have improved 120hz is common, android version has come a long way too.
