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

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.

Nice Phone. Google stopped supporting it too early.

The tech may be 3 years old, but this is still an awesome phone. Too bad Google no longer supports it -- that's the only reason I probably won't keep it another year. Aside from that, battery life is great, the camera is phenomenal, and the phone is fast and fully functional in 2022. What a shame that a lack of Google support turns good products into landfill filler.

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.

I bought Pixel 3 XL in early February. Overall I like it because the screen is pretty large, but.... is you need to use speaker - the sound had a lot of "cracking" noise - annoying. Fingerprint security 70% of the time does not recognize my fingerprint - annoying. We have 2 routers at home and no cell coverage inside, phone does not connect to the closest router - annoying. Camera is not as good as in my previous Pixel 1 xl or Samsung 7 - often is not focusing on the object even if I choose the point of focus and resolution is low on HR setting - very annoying. And Google gives unlimited storage only for 1 year - very annoying too. Why to give it at all free?

As a Google Fi service subscriber, I needed to upgrade my Nexus 6P as it was no longer getting software and security updates (for the past year, yikes!). I chose to go with the Pixel 3XL 128GB from Amazon Warehouse. I chose this one over the new Pixel 4 for several reasons. Priced right, fingerprint sensor over face recognition, included USB-C earbuds and the phone will be updated by Google for the next 3 years, at least. I prefer having the larger storage capacity over the 64GB version. I love Android v10 over the Nexus' v8. Qi charging capable. Anyway, I'm very happy with the phone. The only nit I have to pick is it could have a larger battery capacity though it does last about 36 hours with moderate use.I highly recommend trying products listed as "used" at Amazon Warehouse... Often it's just the box has a little scratch on it and the products are sealed and perfect inside! Can save you A LOT OF MONEY!
