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.

Quote from discord :
Not sure who wants to buy this old phone when pixel 5 has arrived. This seems too much for an out of date handset.
By the same token, the newest and the bestest Pixel 6 is coming. Why's buying the 5? The 6 is a true improvement over the 5 with the flagship specifications.

Will this be better than my galaxy s8?
Yes, this is better in almost ever yway, only the screen might be the same or less than your Samsung S8.

Careful with Pixels they are pushing the latest in wifi security on all their phones, which means some people at work wont be able to connect to work wifi cause of the businesses not using the latest level of wifi security. Its a horrible google decision, and it has stopped me from getting any future pixels cause a global organization wont upgrade a whole network across the globe just cause of one phone trying to be special.

I currently use the same model. I love it. I haven't had a single issue with it.

I actually bought the 128gb 3xl from B&H when it went on sale a few weeks ago and I could not be happier with my $200 purchase. I know the 3xl is outdated as its already a 3 year old phone but at 200 it's been a great phone so far. The 2xl is bordering on too outdated.
Now you are going on a phone that's been sitting around for 4 years. How much battery life is left? I guess if you are desperately in need of a temp phone to hold you over for a year then this should do the trick.

Quote from SlickyCelerySticks22 :
For those wondering about the non-existent continuance of guaranteed updates from Google for this phone, there is always the option of sideloading or flashing a custom ROM on the phone which could provide better longevity to those whom this may concern. However, through and through as solid as this phone was and is, its an older model but obviously here we are on slickdeals where value, saving our precious money and utilizing it to the best of our abilities is the priority here!
I picked up one (2xl) from recent WOOT deal. $120?
I am not a heavy phone app user, so why not since it is on Android 11.
A few more years before the app store stops being compatible?
Likewise, the camera on this beats a lot of newer budget options (which cost similar and have similar processing specs but with the updates still available).
If you don't care about the updates, newer OS, or 5G, I think it's still an option (except for Visible Wireless where it does not connect to voice or MMS).

Sprint/T-Mobile customers beware, I have yet to hear if the Pixel 2 will work with the TNX SIM, currently the 3's & 4's don't but will sometime summer. But haven't heard anyone ask or get an answer from an employee in the know about the 2's or even the OG.

this is too old. maybe 90 would have been a better price but even at that price, i'd wary of picking it up.

Quote from Oisterboy :
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.
Maybe. But for $15 more you can get a Pixel 3. Aside from having a slightly better camera, the non-XL size will be more pocket friendly, especially if you're already carrying another phone. The pink color might not be your jam, but a cheap case can remedy that.

FWIW, I rocked a Pixel 2 for over 3 years until I upgraded just a couple months ago. It's a great phone and and great camera. The only negative I found was that the mic sucks for recording video. If you just want to shoot stills, or maybe quick videos of family & friends, it'll be fine. But if you want to record live music, interviews, or anything where you care about audio quality, you'll want to grab an external mic.

I'm just imagining if thousands of brand new v20's hit the market out of nowhere lol. Im guessing google mass produced way to many phones and didn't want to let the left over parts sit around either.
