Decent deal with a phone with a Snapdragon 835 which is more than sufficient even for modern times. Phone is from a reputable brand and is factory unlocked. Full specs can be found on the BH website.

Quote from BlueVoyager308 :
This phone is missing the band 71 and another band which I'd like to have. From Pixel 3 on-ward, the Pixel phones come with all the LTG bands (4G bands) in the world.

Your comment cannot be blank.

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 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.

Why so many thumbs up for an old phone?
Still makes calls and receives texts.
Cheap, great camera, no intent on future Trade-In value.
Can add current Android 11 version.
Unlocked, so can add a custom ROM if desired.

Quote from MediocreMan :
In my opinion, absolutely. At least it still has the high quality unlimited storage for photos. Don't let some comments dissuade you about the camera quality. Unless you are an absolute pixel-peeper, the photos that come out of this thing are still so much better by default by a lot than other phones.
For the unlimited storage, do the photos have to be uploaded from the Pixel? Or is it just a matter of associating your google account with the Pixel, even if the pictures are uploaded from another device?

It has to be uploaded through the specific Pixel device. Apparently you can transfer photos into the Pixel 2 to be uploaded when they offered the Original Quality backup but it was a bit too much work IMO (only tried a few) and I don't know if they actually did not count against your storage.
