This is a nice $30 price drop from what its been at for a few weeks. Nice deal on a Google Flagship. Yes, its a few years old, but it still has a very fast processor, a great camera, 128GB storage, a nice OLED screen, and it will update to Android 11 right away. It will get security updates through October this year at least. I decided to grab one for when my wife smashes her Moto Z3. I bought a nice iPhone XS Max for her last January (the SD Walmart deal), but she refused to switch from Android. She had a Pixel 2 for a long time, until she smashed it...My kids want the iphone now...
PLEASE NOTE: These phone's were produced for Verizon but are fully unlocked.
He's talking about the bootloader which is different than sim/carrier unlock. Some people want a unlockable bootloader if they plan on flashing custom ROM OS.
This is BOOTLOADER LOCKED. The updates are ending for Pixel3XL in Oct 2021.
After that this phone is USELESS, because you CANNOT install Custom ROMs or security patches.
$199 is NOT a bad price. But please understand that you are getting a phone which is bootloader locked and therefore will run without the latest Android and security patches. Pass on this deal.
