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.

Who's buying this old ass phone? A budget midrange phone of today is better than this
For a solid shooter, you can't go wrong with a price below $150. Mobile photography is one of the most sought after features for the Pixel line.

A couple of my favorite shots with my previous 2XL, no edits.

Although it was once a powerful flagship phone, my LG G7 has become slow and unresponsive. The camera shutter on my obsolete G7 can sometimes take 5-10 seconds to activate after pressing the button, causing me to miss many shots. Would this phone put the turbo back in my smartphone experience?

Is this phone still getting security updates? If not - how are people keeping phone activity safe from hacking?
It's not getting any security updates anymore. Though it was a really great phone, I'm not sure why anyone should buy this as it no longer will receive any software updates whatsoever.

I'm glad they listed specs right up front, I don't go with less screen than my LG V40 Thinq. It just lost it's fingerprint sensor so now do face recognition. I probably wouldn't have even looked at that. This isn't hot enough for me to switch but I still like to look for something beyond Android Pie 9

Any midrange phone from OnePlus, Samsung, Moto, or any other company for that matter would be better than this
Thanks, was seriously thinking of selling my unopened Moto Power and grabbing this Pixel 2 XL. Looks like they'll both end on Android 11. I'm sure the Power's camera is junk but I can probably live with it.

Quote from ShetBoyardee :
For this price range the newer entry level android phones are compatible and still get updates
I'd rather have a new old flagship phone than the newer entry level phones. I can forgive the non-updates, because I won't be using the phone for online banking. Not even checking emails. I'll use a personal computer to do all that. If on the go, I'll have a portable personal computer, aka laptop, aka notebook.

Does this have VoLTE? Can't seem to find any info on this. Would like to use this on Tello and they said it needs to have VoLTE to work-- in particular bands 2, 4, 12, 66, 71 + VoLTE. If this phone doesn't have it, any slickdeal phones that would?

How did the night end with your Uber passenger?
I told him the more stars he gave me, the closer I drop him off at his destination.

He gave me 1 star and now we are planning to elope.

This phone will get Android 11. Once you receive it, update the system. I'm not promoting this phone, because I don't like the LG's P-OLED screen on this phone.

Still wondering where all these new Pixel phones of various prior models are coming from.
Market seems flooded with tons of them recently

Cuz they're EOL, so they're just test devices for rooting at this point

Is this new? If yes then why it comes with 60 day warranty like used phones. Even used or serviced phones will get 90 days

Amazing how so many people are posting that this is a terrible deal because the 3xl is so cheap and then referencing refurbished 64gb 3xl deals.... that are also all dead

thanks for wasting my time checking out all your bad links!
