Quote from deelseaker :
I am confused: The eBay listing seems to suggest that it's compatible with all major carriers including T-Mobile. Why does the OP title say it's for Verizon specifically? Which is it?
Some carrier specific variants only have certain bands to that carrier.
TMo sometimes uses different bands for penetration into buildings and across wide rural areas. Therefore, YMMV on Verizon variant if using on TMo.
IE., You have to check the bands on the variants and make sure they match with the bands that the carrier uses.

I got a free hotspot from TMo and use it on Visible. The data can be useless in certain areas bc the hotspot doesn't have all of Verizon's bands.

Lmfao. $80 would be kinda slick. Especially with Verizon bloat installed.

No such thing. Verizon pixels are virtually indistinguishable.

I have two now, as well as non Verizon. The bootloader is locked, but I've not cared. My fire phones were locked and that made me have to sell them, for a good price iirc, but since then I don't care.

Quote from diversification :
There are a lot of pretty unfavorable reviews about this generation of Pixel in particular. The battery life was apparently quite poor, so unless they replaced the battery with a brand new one on these things, I would steer clear. Poor battery life is already a big problem when not buying new, so I don't think I'd want to compound it by buying a phone that's already known to have battery issues.

If you have used this device, you would not be saying that.

Verizon specific model were locked to the carrier. Other size, no hardware differences.

But not bootloader unlocked so you're stuck with the stock ROM and no new security updates.

Pixel 4XL still get updates, both OS and security.

What's better, Pixel 5 or 4a 5g? Looking to upgrade my 3a XL but free Google Photos storage is a must for me.

5 has better battery life, water resistance, wireless charging while the 4a 5g has the bigger screen

Yes, security and OS updates right now but only until October 2022 - 8 months from now. If I were to buy a $250 phone I wouldn't want to use it for only 8 more months, and then have no resale value. I'd pay another $80 or so and get a bootloader unlocked version (and non-Verizon carrier unlocked version) so that I could run Pixel Experience ROM or Lineage OS for the next couple of years with updates and sell it for a decent price before development ends.

The phone is Verizon but unlocked. At least it's guaranteed to get the next OS update and that's 8 months of actual security updates.. Do you think suggesting BLU phone that gets zero support is an idea worth supporting?

I had to RMA three of these phones. First phone lost all audio input capability. Second and third got killed by battery swelling and killing the phone. I took advantage of trade in values and traded it in for a pixel 5a which is much more reliable and has a fingerprint sensor.

If you buy this phone, you need to have a backup phone for when it does fail. Also, this phone has horrible battery life.

I would not buy a BLU phone simply because of the news that broke about them back in 2014 when they were monitoring everything but user's keystrokes. Sprint was caught using a software called CarrierIQ on certain Android phones at the time to monitor more online customer activity than they were admitting, which was why I switched carriers and learned to root my phone. Blu's built in software was a step beyond that and was reportedly deep in the stock software of many of their phones.

Thank you. Got this for my parents. Bought it from amazon via the same seller because of their 90 day return policy for renewed. It is 10$ more but worth it.
