GREAT SCREEN, CAMERA, BATTERY, STORAGE + DURABLE!
By Blair Benjamin Rackham on Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2020
I've had the Google pixel 3XL for several months now and have really enjoyed it; this may even be my favorite phone thus far (and I've had 6 phones over the last 2 years, most being major flagship models). It feels super thin and lightweight, but SUPER durable - my screen is scratch-free (and I don't use a screen protector!), and this phone has survived not just getting dropped A LOT - after missing for 4 days, it was found outside under bricks after days of storms! I wiped the mud off, plugged it in and it worked perfectly (and still does!). The 6.3 inch screen is big, bright and vibrant, with excellent screen-to-body ratio. I've gotten used to the black "notch" that drops down about half an inch at the top because it allows for a great ear speaker and an awesome front camera. Pictures are sharp and portrait mode does an excellent job of putting the face in focus and softening the appearance of imperfections. I've also been very impressed with battery life - I can go a full day on a single charge and haven't noticed any decrease in battery life. I just started using a wireless charger, which works great even with a protective case. I read reviews that complained about no microSD or headphone jack, but there's plenty of storage space, and the box includes a headphone jack adapter to resolve that issue (although you're unable to charge the device while using headphones). As always, Amazon shipped my package quickly with next-day delivery and customer service was extremely helpful answering my questions about Amazon warehouse and item specifics. Very satisfied! *Pictures show camera quality - depth, color, sharpness and portrait mode

Expected a lot better from Google
By Patricia Daigler on Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2020
Updated: 7ish months after my purchase and I am completely regretting getting this phone. I continue to have small, but very annoying issues with it. Such as, calls won't connect if I have the bluetooth turned on, on the phone, but do not have a bluetooth device connected. You either have to have bluetooth on and a device connected, or have bluetooth off altogether. What the heck, Google? I think you can do better than that. I can't afford to buy a new phone right now, so I'm stuck with this for a while yet, but as soon as a new phone purchase is within my financial reach, I'll be going back to Samsung. Here's my original review, submitted about 4 months ago... In general, I like my google pixel 3 xl. It mostly does what I need it to do, but... there are several little annoying things about it that surprise me given it is a google product. Most of the annoying things are related to their text message app, so maybe I need to find a new text message app to use instead of the one that comes with the phone. However, the screen also frequently stays "on" even thought it's supposed to timeout after 1 minute (nothing is running... it's just stuck on active) and I find myself having to restart the phone frequently. I also cannot download the same apps that I had on my previous Samsung phone. They're both androids... why aren't the same apps available on both? I've paid for it, I'm using it, but I will think twice about buying a google phone again going forward. I was happier with my Samsung phone previously.

Pixel 3/3XL 'OEM unlocking'
By Sunny Days - Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2021

This review is to add a little more feedback as to whether or not these phones' bootloaders can be unlocked in order to flash a ROM. For what it's worth, this was my recent experience with these two phones/vendors. Pixel 3 128GB Just Black: - On first boot (no SIM, no internet), 'OEM unlocking' was grayed out (Fastboot > Device Status: Locked). I noticed the OS was very out of date (circa Android 7). Connected wireless and applied OS update (to Android 12). Rebooted after update and 'OEM unlocking' was no longer grayed out and was available to toggle ON allowing bootloader unlocking if desired. Pixel 3 XL 64GB Just Black: - On first boot (no SIM, no internet), 'OEM unlocking' was NOT grayed out and was available to toggle ON allowing bootloader unlocking if desired. ...other than that... Pixel 3: - Packaging/phone/contents appeared to be factory sealed and in new condition. - The phone did not have a SIM. - I did not encounter any FRP and was able to skip all the Google account login prompts without issue. - Vendor CrownProducts Pixel 3XL: - Packaging/phone/contents appeared to be factory sealed and in new condition. - The phone had a T-Mobile SIM (removed prior to first boot). - I did not encounter any FRP and was able to skip all the Google account login prompts without issue. - Vendor CrownProducts Hope that's helpful to someone. :)
Steps to set up the new Pixel in China
By Buyer - Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2019

Due to the Great Fire Wall in China, setting up a new Google phone is not that simple as in other countries. Here are the steps I went through: 1) Turn on the phone without inserting a Sim card. 2) Skip those steps that involve connection to the Google server. 3) When the phone completes the start process, connect it to a laptop with a USB cable, and send a VPN or similar app from the laptop to the phone. I have connected the Pixel with another phone or the laptop, using bluetooth, but failed in transferring the VPN app by bluetooth. 4) Connect the Pixel to wifi, run the VPN, the Pixel can now connect to Google server. 5) Continue with other steps like inserting a Sim card, go to Google account and Google Play Store, make necessary downloads and updates, etc. An annoying issue: Even with the VPN running successfully, and hence so do the apps on the Pixel, the wifi sign keeps showing "no internet". I don't know how to figure out this issue. The Pixel 3XL comes with Android 9. The 10 is available, and my phone is still downloading the 10 since I set up the phone 2 days ago. 12/26/2019 Update: My phone updated to Android 10 yesterday. A surprise comes out: The wifi sign returns to normal. The tiny cross sign and the wording "wifi connected but no internet" disappeared.
NOT new - seems like a great phone if it works correctly (camera issues)

Bought this (Pixel 3 XL) after accidentally destroying the screen on my Pixel 2 XL and going for this instead of trying to fix my old phone (again). To explain the title, in the Amazon purchase section of the product, I had selected "buy NEW". However, upon immediately opening my "new" phone. Both side stickers of the phone's retail box had been cut completely. So I can only assume that this is a refurbished or renewed model, that said, everything was neatly in the box, nothing missing. My immediate impression is that it feels great in my hands, is almost the same exact size of the Pixel 2 XL looks great. I have had the phone out of the box it came in for about 3 hours. Signed into it with my Google account and all of my apps and data that was backed up was right there on the phone ready for me to use. The interface is smooth and very similar to the Pixel 2. Took me a second to get used to how to access all open apps, but once I did I like how the Pixel 3 handles it better. Everything was great... until I tried to take a picture. From a factory reset of turning the phone on, to setting up the phone and updating the software, the rear facing camera would not focus. The back is crystal clear, no scratches. I went though all of the troubleshooting steps recommended by Google. Nothing worked. So I'm returning it. If the camera worked I'm sure I'd love it. The Pixel 3 does have unlimited high res backups to Google Photos. So if you have one where the camera works, then excellent! I'll update this later based on my experience with the return handling. If you select to return, Amazon contacts the seller who will then contact you (me in this case) with instructions. I'm still waiting on that. 4 stars for now because I really like the phone (aside from camera not focusing, which also seems to happen quite a bit looking around online) but it is NOT NEW. So don't tell me I'm getting a new phone when the box is not even sealed.

All Android all good no frills

Now that Android has gotten even more sophisticated over time, the phones running Pie(9.0) are just as good of not better than any iPhone. They haven't developed face recognition but that's hardly a deal breaker for anyone. This pure Android phone is highly customizable and Assistant is light years ahead of Siri. I use it for most anything and it is much smarter. The interface is now almost the same. You swipe up for tasks and up again for the launcher for all your apps. Note this is brand new and came in original Google packaging. It's totally unlocked and if you care to do it, the bootloader can be unlocked so custom ROM and such can be loaded. I used to encourage rooting a phone to fully customize it but that's really no longer needed. And it can make apps and software unstable and insecure. So don't do this unless you're fully confident in ability to break your new expensive phone 😁 One issue which probably worth mentioning. This has 3400 milliAmpHour battery where the Note 9 has 4000. It does not really last all day. You need to charge it but I have a power bank I carry so it is a non issue.
Debated for weeks..still new but LOVE so far!

I have never took so long to make a phone decision before. I have AT&T and they do not support the Google Pixel 3XL. I read so many reviews about faulty wireless signals and a white X showing up when leaving wireless range. I have not experienced that. I am loving the phone..not a ton of bloatware like my old androids. Sure I miss a couple things. I did like the blinking notification lights, not available on this phone. All the different themes, I had fun with those, I haven't searched around enough yet to see if there are apps for those yet. YouTube great source for learning tips and tricks. I was told I had to go to AT&T to get a new SIM card, wasn't the case, all I had to do was put my sim card in this phone, comes with transfer accessories for data. I got my contacts and google photos over. Crystal clear screen. Do recommend a screen protector. I have one on mine and as you can see, you can't tell. So far, best decision I have made!
Great phone

Great deal! Got a $900 phone for about $400. I ordered a refurbished one, so there's a couple scratches and the occasional glitch but still does everything I need and want it to. Google really outdid themselves with the back camera on this sucker, not a dual but takes incredible shots in any lighting. Front camera leaves something to be desired in low light, but selfies aren't as important anyway (in my opinion). Functionality is great, I've read some reviews that the RAM slows them down but I have yet to have an app crash or malfunction. The Pixel 3 is fast, clean, and professional. Google Assistant features are nice, I like that they're optional to use when I want. The only slightly negative thing I would have to say is that the battery life is less than stellar. Even on battery saver mode, I'm nervous I won't make it through and entire day on a full charge. It has yet to die on me, but it's come close. Overall, great phone for a great price. Would recommend to anyone.
You buy this for the camera.

The notch is ugly but you know this before you buy it. The phone feels very nice and premium. The software is weirdly unstable, I thought being stock Android would be great but no, I think it's because of the 4GB of RAM this thing has, apps keeps crashing and reloading everytime you reopen them. I am posting this on July 6th so at this moment Android Q is only available in beta. I did give it a try and it's way more stable, battery life is much better in Android Q, so I do think the phone will be great when the official version is released. But this is a Pixel, you buy this for the camera and you're not wrong. I have compared it with iPhone Xs and it's just on another level, I have even compared it with Huawei P30 Pro and Huawei only have much better zoom, Pixel is just superior with the quality of the photos. In the audio department, it sounds great, I've seen better like iPhone Xs and Asus ROG phone but it has front facing speakers with excellent quality and volume. In the screen department, this generation is like 600% better than the Pixel 2, Pixel 2 were just terrible, this one is a very nice AMOLED display, colors are good and accurate, viewing angles are also top. In the battery life, well... It's not good to be honest. I have found myself charging this thing twice a day with normal use. 3 times even with heavy use.. if you're taking a lot of photos it will just eat your battery. For example, I recorded 8 minutes of the 4th of July fireworks in NYC, it consumed 15-20% of the battery. That's just crazy. But all this little issues has been resolved with the Android Q, even it being a beta is just much more stable than the current official Android 9. If you want this Pixel, go for it. It's a great phone. And I hope Android Q will resolve those little issues.

I bought a used very good phone 6/2020. What an amazing deal. First thing I did was factory reset. Then I hooked it to my home wifi and signed in. This phone is fast it downloaded all my apps in minutes. Then I went about pairing to my fossil gen 4. I ended up resetting the fossil wow ultra fast Bluetooth in this phone. The fossil reloaded in minutes and had an extra bonus and I'll get to that later. Next step sim swap metro PCS Everything was going along exactly like the video I watched until the end when metro PCS switched me to voice and I had to go through a authentication it's me and then they switched for free. The following day yes the camera is awesome everything is fast I checked for a phone update. Yep a phone update this was expected as I had done a factory reset. Six updates later the phone says no more updates. I knocked out six updates for the phone in three hours it's a fast phone. Here we are two days later and this os the wear os gen 4 fossil is at 62% at 1030pm! My fossil gen 4 battery life with the pixel 3 is just amazing near two days for a charge. The remote shutter is amazing on the fossil gen 4 built in by Google so you know it's safe. Five stars for the used price and how awesome my fossil gen 4 watch is now.
