Google Pixel XL 128GB Verizon and GSM Unlocked, Quite Black, 5.5″(Certified Refurbished)

Bought this for my wife, who had been using a Galaxy S5 for a few years. She has been using the Pixel for a couple of months now and she really likes it. The transfer of her contacts etc from the old phone to the new was pretty seamless. We did have to go to the AT&T store to have the SIM card trimmed to fit the Pixel. She doesn’t do many games, but she takes a lot of photos of our pets. Having the link to the cloud is nice so she doesn’t burn through all memory. She hasn’t had any problems with the processing speed.

So far, after 2 days, this phone makes me a believer in Google phones. I will NEVER go back to Samsung or LG phones.

I have also signed on to Google FI project and receive 5 bars of service where Verizon only gave me 2. Highly recommend FI

I bought the Google Pixel XL, and although it is Certified Refurbished, I was skeptical when I received it. There was obvious wear and tear, light brush-like scratches throughout the areas that were glossy or glass, including over the camera lenses; making for some not so great photos. I used it for a week or two, and suddenly it powered off, screen went black.

The phone become completely unresponsive and will not power back on, including using the hard reboot (Power+Volume Down). It doesn’t respond to being plugged into anything either.

I love the Google pixel it’s a great phone I have project fi as my carrier I need it unlocked phone my Nexus 6 was acting up I want to replace the Nexus 6 if it wouldn’t have been acting up. Which project fi you can only use Google phones. I love Google pixel with the unlimited photo storage it feels good in my hand it’s smaller than my Nexus 6. But it’s definitely a quality phone especially with Android 9.0 it’s really nice with Android P running.

I was previously on a Windows Lumia 830. I thought migrating to Android and Google Pixel would be a massive step up – in terms of speed of the OS switching between apps (response lag) and in terms of the phone quality itself. It turns out that the Windows OS is superior to Android – way better in fact – but of course no one makes apps for Windows…and Google navigation is great amongst other apps of course. ANyway, the phone is fast, but not lightening fast in terms of switching between apps and opening apps. But it does not frustrate – it is fast enough.
The camera is awesome. 5 stars there.The fingerprint scanner is also excellent. The Pixel does not come preloaded with all the junk they load on Samsung, which is great. The S8 may be an object of beauty, but I wanted a phone that does not slow down due to apps overload and software layering. The Pixel has a an excellent build quality. Yes the screen does not curve to the edges, but so what. The phone works well, the signal strength is good. Chrome loads fast and the browser loads pages fast. VOice clarity on the phone is superb. I still need my phone to be a phone, and it does a great job in that area.
Would I buy it again? Yes. Note – this phone was shipped to South Africa. It works 100% perfectly on any network here. Loud and clear, and fast on LTE.
Note to the shipper – the packing was dismal. The box had no bubblewrap or any cushioning inside it. Very poor packaging. But the phone did arrive on time and DHL provided an awesome service.

The Google Pixel phones are the best devices and work seamlessly with all the Google apps. Very easy setup. Best phones I’ve ever owned or used.

This product sucks. I dunno if it’s Pixel XL or the Synergy the company that’s selling it, but my phone craps out ALL the time. And this is happening 2 months into buying the new phone. Brand new phone apparent.y. I don’t use my phone much, there’s enough memory on my phone and even the few apps that I use blank out every second. Very disappointed.

I really like this phone, great battery and all the latest OS updates. It gave me a slightly different look than my HTC M9 but after a couple weeks I am very happy……. perfect screen size for me. Works great on the T-MOBILE network.
