Thanks for the review! Had it for a week, but ended up returning it. Loved the idea and UI, but a few issues pushed me to choose the Pixel: GPay rarely worked, constant vibration but errors. Fingerprint scanner glitched with Extra Dim mode. Camera's horizon level triggered excessive vibrations. Annoyed by off-center power button, taking on board how much focus on the design of the phone, symmetrical bezels, iPhone-like esthetics etc. But man, that power button... Why?! Nothing OS 2.0.2 seemed like an investment, but Pixel was a better deal for me, considering discounts on the 7 series. Still waiting for your Sony Xperia 1 V review 😊

Ah I'm sorry to hear that! If the Pixel works better for you though...so be it!
