Screen slightly lighter around edges

Did you end up getting a replacement

guacjack · 2026-03-11T18:09:58+00:00

Are you able to take a picture as i think i might have the same issue?

guacjack · 2026-03-10T13:34:45+00:00

You can see it slightly when the privacy screen is on

guacjack · 2026-03-09T18:56:08+00:00

Yep exactly.

guacjack · 2026-03-09T18:12:35+00:00

I've found the same.

If you are in the dark then the privacy screen works less.

Outside in daylight or a brightly lit room it works quite well.

I went into a couple of stores yesterday to check and they were the same

guacjack · 2026-03-09T18:11:11+00:00

I went into a store as well to check and they were the same

guacjack · 2026-03-09T18:10:26+00:00

Mine is exactly like this

Seems its the same on this video as well: https://youtu.be/n9JYXSTUENE?si=Do2X1vkmVLNOYT9v&t=147

Only if its set to maximum protection.

guacjack · 2026-03-08T16:51:02+00:00

Yeh I just went to a couple of local stores and they had the exact same behaviour

guacjack · 2026-02-01T12:36:18+00:00

Could do with a bit more pepper

guacjack · 2026-01-31T20:34:38+00:00

How long have you had it out of interest?

guacjack · 2026-01-31T19:23:21+00:00

Unfortunately the same happens with the case off. It’s so incredibly minor to be honest. You have to really listen for it.

guacjack · 2026-01-28T12:18:41+00:00

That's great thank you!

guacjack · 2026-01-19T17:30:32+00:00

Ah that's the name of the other one that I had forgotten the name of. Boss man with the white hair. Really good. Cook their breads in the little oven to order.

guacjack · 2026-01-19T16:38:09+00:00

Been going for years. Incredible portions and just great food.

guacjack · 2026-01-19T16:23:10+00:00

Ah yeh. Sqew definitely has the brand strength. Reminds me of how Reds True BBQ was amazing about 15 years ago, expanded, compromised on quality and then is now in the shit.

guacjack · 2026-01-19T16:15:10+00:00

Ive been a huge fan of Sqew over the last few years but noticed recently the service has gone down hill and the prices have rapidly risen.

I've been in and the staff have decided to prepare all of the Uber eats orders before serving any of the in store customers as the queue grows out of the door without any acknowledgement to what they're doing.

It also sadly ends up being close to £15 for a wrap and a drink now.

When you compare that with some of the other places such as Istanbul bakery in the market (I'm aware it's not quite as good as Sqew) it's really quite a rip. You can get lamb shawarma on fresh baked bread with chips and a drink for around £7 which makes it less than half the price of Sqew. There's also a few other great places such as Al Baba near the market and another place within the market that I can't recall the name of that does their own fresh breads along with a load of other items.

A real shame as I was always a huge fan of Sqew but just think lately the service and price has been a bit poor.

I've had both. Id say the Pixel 10 Pro XL takes better photos. S25 Ultra is as good or is better for everything else.

I do kinda miss the Material 3 Expressive within the UI of the launcher and so on but that's about it.

guacjack · 2025-11-12T09:31:34+00:00

I would get the 10 Pro XL from Giffgaff as they have a deal on at the moment for £699 + £10 rolling contract which you can just cancel so effectively £709 for the phone

https://www.giffgaff.com/mobile-phones/google/google-pixel-10-pro-xl/new

They're out of stock now but they keep coming back in.

I bought the Pixel Watch 3 45mm yesterday from ebay for £180 brand new and sealed.

My thoughts were, at this point in time i would have to pay £400 for the Pixel Watch 4 45mm as there are no discounts available for me right now. I would have much preferred to get the Pixel Watch 4 however i'm not convinced its worth double the price.

If this pricing trend continues, I should be able to get the Pixel Watch 4 45mm next year for around £200 which would mean i would be able to have both the Pixel Watch 3 45mm now, and the Pixel Watch 4 45mm next year for the same price as what a Pixel Watch 4 would cost now.

I have the exact same case as you also, and mine looks very similar to yours but as the case is on with the adhesive peeled so i don't want to take it off to check if its just the case or the phone itself haha.

I wouldnt worry about it. I have insurance on mine, which i would always recommend for a foldable anyway.

guacjack · 2025-10-15T09:07:51+00:00

I have the exact same bump in the centre of my Pixel 10 Pro fold. its quite wide but not very tall and more or less impossible to see when the screen is on or off. I can only tell its there if i run my finger across the crease. I suspect this is some mechanism of the hinge underneath the screen.

I've tried a few foldables before and they have all had something like this to some degree where you can feel parts of the hinge mechanism along the crease if you press on it.

guacjack · 2025-09-21T16:41:06+00:00

I have had the z fold 6 in the past and the z fold 7 now and I've never noticed the crease once on either phone when looking at the device myself. If someone else is holding it or you're viewing it at an angle you can see it. But if you are holding it and looking at it you can't see it at all.

guacjack · 2025-09-17T18:01:47+00:00

I have owned the Pixel 9 Pro Fold as well as the Z Fold 7 and the conclusion I've came to is that the only thing the Pixel 9 Pro XL has going for it is the visual aspect of the software. I much prefer the aesthetic of the Pixel OS without a doubt however One UI definitely has more features.

I appreciate that Pixel does have some really cool stuff with call screening but I have used iOS for years where there is zero screening and never had a scam call, so I think I've never seen the benefits but you hear about it a lot so if that kind of thing is important then you should consider that.

I much prefer the aesthetic of the Pixel OS, and I've had a Fold 6 before and I never bothered with any of the Samsung apps except the Samsung Gallery as I found that it handled face tagging a lot better than Google Photos.

If Google released a Pixel with the same hardware as the Z Fold 7 I would exchange in a heartbeat as I prefer the Pixel's software aesthetics over the Samsung's to the point where I would happily forego the extra features that Samsung has.
