This phone reached End Of Life last year in December. Please read this article before you decided to purchase a device that doesn't get any updates or bug fixes.

FYI.
Pixel 1 and Pixel 2/2xl do not work on Visible Wireless. It's a known issue.
Can get data, but no voice or MMS even with the correct APN settings.
I just picked up an unlocked 2xl from WOOT, and Visible Wireless is a no-go.

The model number is GA00138-US which is the US factory unlocked 128 GB black model, so it should be possible to unlock the bootloader. Only the Verizon variants of the Pixels have permalocked bootloaders.

Yes after 3yrs of discharge/charge cycles the battery life will diminish. Come back in 2023 & tell us how it's going.
I can tell you now. I have a 2016 Google Pixel XL. It's the first Pixel. The battery health is 98% according to AccuBattery. How do I keep the battery health? 40% to 80% rule.

Battery life might just be random or tied to built quality. I been using my razer phone 1 and have been charging it with my 85w MacBook power brick for maximum rate/speed. I always let it drain to 0% and charge it back to 100%. After 4 years of use, the battery health status still rates Good...

Anyone have a 'stable custom rom that gets updates' suggestion for this phone?

And if I used it to travel say....Canada...and wanted GoogleFi....does GoogleFi still support using this device (with or without a custom Rom)?

I'm still rocking s7 edge, just virtually window shopping phones. Maybe this year I'll finally get a upgrade. 😁

Still wondering where all these new Pixel phones of various prior models are coming from.
Market seems flooded with tons of them recently
They were way overpriced since the beginning and discounts weren't enough to unloaded them.

Google had a huge problem with the camera on these phones bricking. No pics, no vids, no apps that needed the camera would work (like depositing checks). Go look at the Play Store reviews for the "Google Camera" app and see all the complaints from Pixel 2 XL owners that had their phone broken by a bad software update. Google claims it's a "hardware problem" but everyone has their camera stop working immediately after doing a phone update. Great job Google!

Is this worth it to use as just a camera? I'm looking for a nice pocket camera but phones are the way to go with built in editing apps and such. I have one of the cheap galaxy phones as my main. I'd like a nice camera around this price point.
If your current phone has an inferior camera then it's probably an inferior phone overall to this one. Why wouldn't you buy it to actually use as a phone?

I am still using this phone bc I'm cheap. Yes the display has pretty bad colors but the phone has worked great for me. Still speedy and camera is excellent. Will definitely go back to the pixel line when I need to replace.
You have to use it past 5 years to be considered "cheap." It's has to be earned lol...I'm on 3 years and 4months now...

this still have the bag LG panel amoled with the ugly shift problem and crush black. Everyone hated this panel of the XL version. Regular pixel 2 had the good samsung amoled panel
Used mine for 2 years before switching to pixel 4 xl. Loved it and now my son uses it.
