Day 2 of owning a Pixel 11 Pro: - Botched camera lens protector installation, have to buy a new one - Got even more dust under the screen protector when trying to reinstall one that got a bunch of dust under it - Received Pixelsnap Charger, it works worse than a random Amazon charger

The charger has been RMA'd, hope the next one works, or I'm just going to return it.

For the camera lens protector, it didn't come with those stickers for positioning, so I had to peel it off a bunch of times to reposition and I accidentally got a nail under the adhesive, so now a corner doesn't stick right. Will definitely provide my own positioning tape next time.

I got one that had the least holes, and unfortunately it's only on Google Store, so I'm waiting a week for it because I don't want to spend more on fast shipping.

For the screen protector, apparently the current meta is a positioning frame with a suspended glass panel, and you pull the backing sheet off while the frame is on, so it attracts any remaining dust off.

Second attempt I pulled the sheet off ahead of the time, and apparently bad idea, because there's now dust spread across the glass. Got another order on for tomorrow, hopefully no dust next time.

Anyway, the phone itself: feels the same as my old Pixel 7 Pro, aside from being a little bit smaller. Both have Android 17, and this new phone has the same bugs, plus a bit more. It also has a ludicrous corner radius. Why is it rounder than an iPhone?

Screen's higher resolution, and text is a bit smaller. Wish I could make it the same size as my old phone, but it's like half a size bigger rather than one size bigger.
