I noticed my glass panel is very slightly (0.5mm ish) coming out on the bottom-right hand of the device. Is this normal? It isn't loose (I applied some medium pressure to try to "snap it" to the same level of the rest of the glass but it didn't move at all).
I don't think that is normal at all. Mine looks recessed on all the edges. Meaning the outer frame sticks out past the glass surface (very slightly).

Same here,
although the left side is a little lower then the right.
I don't know if its .5mm, but the bottom right side is definitely slightly higher than the other corners
BTW this is on the GSM version (Canada) bought from Virgin Mobile.
Upon looking closely, the glass is actually thicker on that corner so that's why it's popping so I'm not too worried about it being loose. 0.5mm is about half a CD/Dvd's thickness so it's really minor.
I'm just wondering if it's a glass manufacturing defect or if it's intended on certain models. I think it's probably a very minor defect because of the curved nature of the glass.

If I remember correctly, when I got my G2 back in November (or sometime thereabouts), the screen was flush with the edge. Since then, I've used a Realook screen protector that I took off last night, and maybe it's because the screen protector was on it that I didn't notice, but there seems to be a very noticeable, sharp lip around the long edges; I felt it when I flicked across the screen. If I hold the phone horizontally against a bright backdrop and look across the screen, it seems as if the lip is just a bit thicker closer to the middle.
Maybe I'm being paranoid, but the lip is noticeable enough during use that it's bugging me. Could the screen have recessed a bit into the body?
Ran off into second page. Bump!

the metal unibody around the screen is higher than the glass to prevent your finger from sliding completely off the screen. the screen is suposed to be recessed a tiny bit in. and there are parts behind the screen that prevent the screen from caving in. there is no room for your screen to cave in.
I read that the gap between the bezel and the glass is to help with the glass expanding due to heat, but it seems to collect dust a lot and its driving me nuts. Anyone know of a way to prevent this or a slim case that covers the gap so dust does not get in there?
i don't see a problem with my phone, mostly because the case is hiding it all LOL
and even when i do take out the case, i don't see dirt collecting there
i just go blow it off easily with a gasp of air with my mouth
Mine too!!! Have 2 white specs in top left side and don't wanna stick something in there and scratch it... Annoying thing is that my d30 case covers everything up but that little damn corner where the power button is... Ugh

I just noticed this dust accumulating in there today. Hrm.
just puff it every now and then to prevent excess accumulation and prevent it from turning into dirt
this is between the bezel and glass .. so not under the glass right? this is a huge problem with my nexus one and don't want another phone where i have to deal with it
I use the body glove case from tmobile when I'm at work. My work enviroment is extremely dirty and very dusty. I mean to the point where you clean the area and by the end of the day there is a pretty thick layer of flux (lets just say dust) everywhere.
When I take my case off on the weekend my bezel is clean

The SAMOLED screens are fused to the class so there is no gap for dust to collect.
To get rid of the dust I use a stiff lens cloth damp with lens fluid and use a corner to clean. Works perfectly

dust between the bezel/screen common problem with any phone that has gap between the bezel and screen. like one person said, the digitizer is fused with the actual screen on Super Amoled screens. so dust shouldn't get underneath. However, screen repair cost more due to the fact the whole screen+digitizer has to be replaced instead of one or the other.
to get the dust out,I usually just take a very thin paper,fold it in half,and slide it. I've been doing the same method on my past phones.
So here is my question. I’m looking at the invisible sheild glass screen protector but am wondering, what will happen with the protector when I squeeze my pixel for assistant? Will I lift or crack? What do you guys think?
I seriously doubt they will be sending the glass screen. Should be fine.
What do you mean sending the glass screen? I’m buying a glass screen protector. The pixel 2XL is Poled made of plastic so you can squeeze. So I’m wondering about the glass protector
Have you checked the Accessories thread here
That doesn’t answer my question. Hence why I asked it. That’s basically just listing what accessories are available
That's actually a good question- I hadn't really thought about it. Hopefully there won't be any issue with the screen protectors. I guess we'll find out soon enough.
Maybe a good place to ask...

Huh?
You are squeezing the sides of the phone and not actually compacting the screen, so there should be no issue.

Understood but is that not why google went POLED so as not to have glass to deal with the pressure
Zagg is saying we should be fine and the warranty for return is 30 days from website kiosks depends on them
Yet Google made the screen of plastic not glass?

the only way to really know is to wait for someone to test it
BUT
this is the first time i heard that screen is plastic
what i know that it is gorilla glass 5 from their website and from other websites
https://www.gsmarena.com/google_pixel_2_xl-8720.php
(DISPLAY Type P-OLED capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors
Size 6.0 inches, 92.6 cm2 (~76.4% screen-to-body ratio)
Resolution 1440 x 2880 pixels, 18:9 ratio (~538 ppi density)
Multitouch Yes
Protection Corning Gorilla Glass 5
- Always-on display
- 100% DCI-P3 coverage)
It’s POLED the P = plastic
http://www.androidauthority.com/poled-vs-amoled-792869/amp/
i know that the inside where made of plastic
but the touchscreen in the outside are made of glass (the digitizer)
so glass on top of a plastic (they get thinner panel this way )
OH right the HTC U11 have lcd glass screen in the first place
maybe you can ask in there form if anyone have a problem in the squeeze with glass and screen protector
Someone will surely correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you actually squeeze the body of the phone, meaning, the sides don't actually compress. What you're doing by squeezing the phone is really squeezing your fingertips (and the base of your palm area), so that your skin makes contact with more of the extreme edges of the screen. It's very slight, but enough to activate the sensitive touch areas there. When the phone sees a whole bunch of "touch" along the sides of the screen, it sees that as a squeeze. So, you don't have to worry about a case cracking under the pressure. However, if this really is how it works, then any case with screen-overlap may interfere with activation of squeeze command. Ditto with screen protectors.
As for the P in P-OLED. That refers to the substrate, which is the base to which all of the electronic bits are connected. Plastic allows this substrate to be thinner and more flexible. The outer surface may be, and often is, still made of glass (in this case, Gorilla Glass 5). P-OLED isn't typically used to make the body of the phone more damage resistant (although it certainly can be). It's used to make the screen a tiny bit lighter and thinner, allowing more room for other internal pieces (such as a slightly larger battery).

Sorry I have to correct you here. The squeeze gesture is picked up by 2 rows of sensors inside the edges of the frame. It has nothing to do with the screen.
Jerryrigeverything did a teardown on the HTC u11 which uses the same tech. So, that section of the frame edge is actually mobile to a degree. It also compromised rigidity and failed his bend test.
Why do you need a screen protector? I have not made a scratch a phone screen since prior to my nexus 4. The screen are pretty much scratch proof unless you use sand paper to do it.
Hello,
Already anybody with a good fitting glass screenprotector?
I have tried 2, but they don't fit good at the edges.

I've seen many people with the same problem as yours, that is why I haven't got a screen protector.
I have some under watch in eBay, but I'm waiting on feedback before purchasing
I bought those "liquid/nano Screenprotectors" coz they fit every screen.
I dont know if they are good but my screen is still like new.
Ultimate Shield are now doing glass protectors for a range of Honor and Huawei devices, including the P20 Lite. They are priced to be a bit more premium, but I have used them in the past and been quite happy with them. This was before the trend of curving the edges of phone screens though. These are full sized protectors with a coloured border, but the glue is full coverage rather than just at the edges. I have just fitted one to my son's new P20 Lite. As it has just been fitted I am unable to comment on durability yet. However the fit seems pretty good. As mentioned, it covers the front of the device fully from edge to edge both horizontally and vertically. The hole for the speaker and camera lines up perfectly, but it does look like the black borders encroach a little onto the actual display area at the sides. I don't think this would be enough to impede usage of the phone on a daily basis. It is just noticeable as it disrupts the flow of the rounded corners. The edges are nicely rounded and are not a harsh edge, unlike the cheap protector that I currently have on my Honor View 10 (I have bought an Ultimate Shield for this too, just haven't fitted it yet). I did manage to get one tiny bit of dust under the protector which has caused a small bubble, but this is under the display in the chin area so no real issue and not a fault with the screen protector. There was another bubble at the top left of the display, but keeping pressure on this meant it eventually disappeared. At the edge in the same area I noticed a small sized air pocked just creeping out along the black border, almost as if it was a tiny area with the infamous halo. This isn't noticeable with the screen on and I hope it will go over time. Overall I am quite happy with how it fits and looks. The only real negative is that the supposed oleophobic coating doesn't seem to be doing a great job. But, tbh, I don't think I have ever found a screen protector where it has worked as I expected. Are my expectations just not realistic? Or do we have particularly oily finger tips? Nothing a frequent wipe on a t-shirt won't sort out though.
Would certainly recommend if you are fed up of these screen protectors that are much too small and give you a halo round the edges.
https://www.ultimateshield.co.uk/collections/huawei-p20-lite/products/huawei-p20-lite-tempered-glass-screen-protector
They also do full body coverage wet apply protectors (invisible shield style) if you like that kind of thing.
I got one when i bought the phone and it did not fit good at the edges, but i found a youtube clip called "Removing Halo Effect from Tempered Glass (Olive Oil)" and it worked for me. its been 3 months since then and all is good.
Just received my case from AliExpress.
Very thin and first impressions are favourable although I'm tempted to put a thin clear film over the joint between the case and mini screen in the corner in case the edge flexes and scratches the screen.
Construction is a very thin hardshell rear with a plastic flip and a smoked translucent corner on the front.
Clearance for the cameras on the rear is minimal.
There's a small square magnet visible on the flip below the widow for the hall sensor to let out acts as a smart cover.
Using miui12 always on screen and smart case options gives a small clock and battery indicator in the window.
Can see the height difference between the Xiaomi smart cover and the leather case I had before.
The orange is muted and the Matt dark grey of the phone holder contrasts nicely.
Hopefully the mi10 won't get as warm with this case as it did with the leather one!
Does it affect (reduce) the screen on lateral ?

What do you mean by lateral?
That might not have translated well
The screen turns off when you close the case and turns on when you open it.
I highly suggest not using this case! it leaves a mark on your display exactly where the glass plastic part begins. because it is not perfectly flush with the leather part.
I used mine for about a week and have a permanent scratch on the display the entire length of the plastic window.

Mine the plastic is recessed away from the screen slightly so it shouldn't make contact.
I put a piece of clear gorilla tape over the joint anyway
I take it you don't have a screen protector fitted?
Mine came with one

nope mine did not come with a protector! which is odd cause everyone got theirs with a protector already applied. At the time I assumed this product would protect the display until my glass gets here but... it did the opposite -_-
I don't use this case even now that i have the glass on my phone because it limits the ways I can use it.
It looks dumb when taking photos because the thing just flaps in the air also cannot use my gimbal or my bike mount. all in all not my best purchase

I can't believe plastic is able to scratch the gorilla glass display.
"Glass scratches at a level 6 with deeper grooves at a level 7". -Jerryrig
I would guess you have an screen protector. I didn't see mine at first because ist sits perfect.
Looking at the notch is where i could see it on my phone.

Be my guest and try for yourself. I don't know the technical term but the screen has some sort of coating as it's top most layer and the case made a permanent mark on the glass if you clean it perfectly it's not visible. But as soon as you touch the display that part will get dirty almost instantly. Another example, if i use an alcohol wipe the outline of the window on the display retains moisture and the rest does not. So call it what you want but this case damages your display.
my solution was to clean the display perfectly and put a "Hydrogel" (marketing BS for plastic foil) on top. I totally forgot about it until you quoted my post
Oh you mean the oleo phobic coating. Been there already because i was so "smart" and had washed my first smartphone display with dishwashing soap and was wondering why it was getting dirty even after cleaning.
Later I found a solution:
