Soooo tempted to get this as a WiFi/general use device. It'd be a bonus if it actually ended up being unlocked.
Won't be unlocked.

Anybody??
In case this information is of help in anyway see this article from Oct. 2017…Pixel 2s sold by Verizon and Google were all unlocked. Obviously what's unknown is which variant is Mint's Pixel 2XL. And the question around unblocked bootloader cannot be answered until the "variant" is known.

WOW....Mint Mobil's web site:

No phone number to call them.
No email address to email them.
No live chat service to chat with them.

Seems like customer service is not in their vocabulary.
That's how they make it cheap lol

Scroll to the bottom of their website, click on FAQ under Support and you should see a floating chat icon on your bottom right. You'll first "chat" with their chatbot and then be transferred to a human. Hope this helps.

And the service sucks for anyone thinking about switching. I moved from T-Mobile post paid to Mint with a 3 month sim and speeds are practically unusable in many places that didn't have issues prior. I'm using it till the end of the month and switching back. Good deal on the phone however.

I read on a developer forum that Pixel 2s in the UK with a carrier named EE were locked, FYI. Hence clarified in my earlier comment about Pixel 2s sold by Google and Verizon being unlocked

For what it's worth, I've called Mint Mobile customer service twice. Once before being a customer with some questions about the service, once as a customer with questions about a number port.

On both occasions, while it was less polished and corporate, the CSRs were both friendlier and more competent at answering my questions than my previous carriers: AT&T, Verizon, and Spectrum. Their phone number also directed me straight to a human instead of playing games to make it hard to get to one.

So I'm looking for a pocket camera that will be better than my Samsung a50. I believe these pixel cameras are better. I literally just want this phone for the camera and maybe an editing app for videos I take. Is it better to get this one or the 3?

No indication if factory unlocked? Can I use any carrier?
From Mint's Customer Service via chat:


"09:22
All our Androids devices are unlocked if you paid them full."

And

"09:27
When the phone is new it does not have the boot loader locked."

Enjoy fellow SDers 😊
