Google - Pixel 3 XL with 128GB Memory Cell Phone (Unlocked) - Just BlackEPEAT

The seller was amazing product arrived quickly and the product description was on point and accurate. I fell into the Pixel 3 XL because my Pixel 2 XL had a screen crack, Googles warranty company refused to accept my claim because of poor product management and some mix up with my IMEI numbers in the database. Google eventually came through and authorized me a full refund on my phone and the extended warranty program.Anyways, if you are coming from the Pixel 2 XL this isn't a huge leap and I would wait for the next gen model this October. But, if you are joining the Pixel family for the first time, the phone runs just a smooth as you would expect from a "Pure Android Experience". You can customize your phone to your liking and take full advantage of the software experience that Google can provide with awesome Google assistant, Camara App, Call Screening, etc..The Camara takes amazing photos and night shot is remarkable if you follow the Pixel line you probably already know this so I am not going to cover it much, but I will post a couple of pictures as an example.Pros: Pretty much everythingCons: Sometimes its sluggish during app switching, I am warming up to the notch, but still not quite a fan. I think Google needs to do a software update to black out the notch area, but utilize that unused screen space with notification data.Overall, love the phone. It's always nice to upgrade almost for free because of others mistakes. Google really needs to streamline its customer care departments and ensure that all departments talk to one another to ensure their customers are being taken care of. Although Google took care of me this time, it took over 20hrs of communication and almost a month to get the refund to make this purchase necessary.Bottom line, if you are new to the Pixel Family get this phone if you already have a previous generation Pixel wait for the release of the Pixel 4 :-) Happy Shopping

Nice Phone. Google stopped supporting it too early.

I really like this phone. The battery life is superb. The performance is like greased lightning. The picture is excellent. The voice quality is great. The fingerprint reader is so far nearly flawless, and very easy to use with the sensor being in the back. (I haven't played with the camera much myself, can't say anything useful about that.) Everyone in my family switched to Pixel3 phones recently (models include P3A, P3, P3XL), and all are very satisfied. BTW, the pink isn't very pink, and I use a cover anyway, so I don't notice it.I particularly like the absence of bloatware (a less polite word for it is generally used) on the Google devices, it's been really pleasant not to have to spend a few hours uninstalling or disabling all those lovely apps the carriers and vendors love to stuff into your phone to make sure your memory and bandwidth are being properly used.I have just one complaint, and that is the absence of a memory expansion port. I'd love to be able to stick a 128gb sd card (or maybe even 256gb) for media files and application data, to be able to hold tons of media files.

I once bought my next door neighbor's car. They were heavy smokers and sold it to me because something was wrong with the glass in the back. They couldn't see through it. Turns out that years of cigarette smoke builds up - I had a hell of a time cleaning those windows! The screen of this phone reminds me so much of that car. I can see images. But everything has a hazy, yellow, dingy tint to it, like it desperately needs a good scrubbing.This is only the second smartphone I've ever owned, so I figured I had turned something on. Or failed to turn something off. Maybe the night light. I even did a factory reset. Twice. Nothing helped. Finally I called Amazon. I explained what was happening, that the phone was obviously broken, and I needed a replacement as quickly as it could be shipped, considering I'm leaving to attend a funeral in a few days. To their credit they not only leapt into action, the phone arrived two days before schedule! Way to go, Amazon team! I'm sincerely grateful for your effort! Unfortunately... the replacement phone is worse than the original. The poor beast has jaundice.FWIW, users can go into settings for the display. There are three options to choose from - natural, boosted and adaptive. Adaptive makes everything ever so slightly more pink. Nothing you'd really notice, but the sample photo they provide has a pink flower in it. It becomes a tiny bit larger - like a few more pixels - when Adaptive is selected. Natural and boosted remove that pink tint, but otherwise there's no difference between them. And none of them make a dent in the cigarette smoke colored screen. Turning on nightlight is really impressive. Everything kind of goes into a cinnamon colored sepia tone.I'm not the only person this has happened to. There are lots of side-by-side photos showing a normal phone vs the Pixel 3 xl. And before you say "You're just used to a screen with more blue in it..." no. Seriously. I know some screens are more blue or less blue. THIS screen is dingy, muted... right out of the box it looks like it was used hard by a Kirkland brand Meeseeks. (That's for all you Rick and Morty fans out there).Oh, FWIW, the rest of the functions seem pretty run of the mill. It has good storage but I'm disappointed the battery drains so quickly. It would be an adequate phone for the price if it weren't for the murky display. As it is, using a phone with no camera is better than pictures of a green sky. This thing is going back.

At first I was angry. I bought the phone specifically because it was supposed to be unlocked. After opening, I tried two carriers who said that it was locked. I had started the return process, but the refund process was a pain. I pulled it back out, did a factory reset and then a system update, and that apparently unlocked it. I worked with one of the previous carriers and got service on it.
