Google - Pixel 3 XL with 64GB Memory Cell Phone (Unlocked) - Clearly White

I was unable to determine that my refurbd unit had previously been sold by Verizon so did not realize that the eSIM feature was permanently disabled. (IDK if this could be fixed with root.) If you buy a refurb, immediately contact Google support within the return window and give them the IMEI - they can tell you if Verizon was the original carrier and whether eSIM is enabled or not.

The seller was amazing product arrived quickly and the product description was on point and accurate. I fell into the Pixel 3 XL because my Pixel 2 XL had a screen crack, Googles warranty company refused to accept my claim because of poor product management and some mix up with my IMEI numbers in the database. Google eventually came through and authorized me a full refund on my phone and the extended warranty program. Anyways, if you are coming from the Pixel 2 XL this isnt a huge leap and I would wait for the next gen model this October. But, if you are joining the Pixel family for the first time, the phone runs just a smooth as you would expect from a Pure Android Experience. You can customize your phone to your liking and take full advantage of the software experience that Google can provide with awesome Google assistant, Camara App, Call Screening, etc.. The Camara takes amazing photos and night shot is remarkable if you follow the Pixel line you probably already know this so I am not going to cover it much, but I will post a couple of pictures as an example. Pros: Pretty much everything Cons: Sometimes its sluggish during app switching, I am warming up to the notch, but still not quite a fan. I think Google needs to do a software update to black out the notch area, but utilize that unused screen space with notification data. Overall, love the phone. Its always nice to upgrade almost for free because of others mistakes. Google really needs to streamline its customer care departments and ensure that all departments talk to one another to ensure their customers are being taken care of. Although Google took care of me this time, it took over 20hrs of communication and almost a month to get the refund to make this purchase necessary. Bottom line, if you are new to the Pixel Family get this phone if you already have a previous generation Pixel wait for the release of the Pixel 4 :-) Happy Shopping

I hated the notch but the phone is gooood

Only Con is the brightness on the phone isnt great. Have to turn it up all the way for it to be like average compared to another phone. Otherwise amazing phone with amazing camera!

Nothing more to say.

You can use the Pixel 3 XL with any major carrier but I got tired of paying too much to AT&T and Verizon, and decided to try Google Fi (which costs me about $31 a month for my 800 MB of data). The only problem is that I think Google is fibbing a little bit with their Google Fi coverage map. They say that areas are well covered with 4G when in fact I suspect they are not. Im not a big talker and do not need my phone in a business capacity, so it is fine, but I would highly recommend you check your exactly area carefully and consult others, before deciding if you wish to go with Google Fi. Hardware wise, the Pixel 3 XL is da ####. I enjoy a very clean operating system and except for a few Google apps that are mandatory, the 3 XL is a fairly clean and lightweight installation that gets updated frequently. If it were not for the Google Fi gaps in coverage in my area, I would rate the 3 XL as five stars.

Love this phone. And for $600? What a steal compared to the iPhone XS Max I used previously. Only complaint compared to the iPhone is the battery life, but it gets through a day. Also I am probably playing with the phone a lot more since I am setting it up and testing it out, so I will update the review later with regard to the battery. Its super quick, love the lack of any carrier branding and bloatware. Camera is phenomenal. Reception is great.

By far the best phone Ive owned, yet! Works perfectly and it was a seamless process switching phones through my existing Metro By TMobile account. No issues and it was brand new as described. Already recommended them to a quite a few people. I would purchase through this seller for a new phone in the future. Thank you.

Love all the little extra google features that other phones dont have. Provides a smooth seamless experience allowing everything to work together.

Bad experience ordering this. I ordered an unlocked phone and got a phone with a sim inside it. Spent a lot of time getting this issue resolved. After this was eventually resolved, I discovered that the microphone on the device did not work. I tried getting that resolved and finally when it was found to be faulty hardware, I had to return it. Hope this doesnt repeat.
