Google Pixel 2 64GB - Clearly White, Unlocked Version

This is Android at its purest, as it is meant to be. The phone is understated yet good looking and feels very solid. The Android OS is bloat free and runs super smooth. You get the latest Snap Dragon 835 paired with 4GB of onboard RAM making this phone fast and responsive. It has a nice looking display and a very solid battery, I easily get a solid day and then some with heavy use. The camera has been given a lot of hype, and for good reason, it is terrific for a smartphone. With a processing core dedicated to the camera you'll get great images in any conditions. The phone's fingerprint scanner is positioned conveniently for easy access and works like a charm. You also get the very clever 'squeeze' feature to call up Assistant; simply squeeze the phone's sides and ... MoreThis is Android at its purest, as it is meant to be.

The camera has been given a lot of hype, and for good reason, it is terrific for a smartphone. With a processing core dedicated to the camera you'll get great images in any conditions. The phone's fingerprint scanner is positioned conveniently for easy access and works like a charm. You also get the very clever 'squeeze' feature to call up Assistant; simply squeeze the phone's sides and Assistant pops right up, you can also silence calls and alarms this way, the feature is intuitive, helpful, and works great. You're also getting a phone with hardy dust and water resistance which is great for everyday use. It does not have a 3.5mm audio jack so if that is critical for your phone you'll want to look elsewhere. I've found Bluetooth headphones work perfectly on this device so I've been fine without the jack. The only feature I truly miss is wireless charging. Not having wireless charging built-in is my only critique of this phone. Anyone looking for a high-end Android phone should definitely check out the Pixels. This is Google's answer to the iPhone and really is hands down the best Android experience I have ever had.

First, the Pixel 2 is the only Android phone I know of that was released in 2017 that has a stock, bloatware free copy of Android 11 it's running on. As much as I like Motorola phones, you'll have to buy a much newer and often more costly model to have Android 11. Second, the camera on the Pixel 2 is better than most newer phones in its class, especially in low light. It was updated to use the Pixel 3's Night Sight feature, dramatically improving low light levels without a flash or a tripod. Third, the Type-C quick charging is outstanding! And, even if you don't have a quick charge power adapter, the phone will take advantage of more 2.4A output chargers as well. But please do NOT confuse the Pixel 2 with it's bigger brother, the Pixel 2 XL! The XL does not age well ... MoreFirst, the Pixel 2 is the only Android phone I know of that was released in 2017 that has a stock, bloatware free copy of Android 11 it's running on.

But please do NOT confuse the Pixel 2 with it's bigger brother, the Pixel 2 XL! The XL does not age well and can have a number of display "issues" (burn-in, smear, flashing, dead spots), primarily from idiots keeping these XL's in their pockets. The 2 XL also have a small number of problems not found on the standard Pixel 2. Now the bad stuff. No 3.5mm audio jack; requires Type-C adapter. Require professional/skilled battery replacement. This can be more than the price you paid for the phone. But if you're skilled or bold, IFIXIT has a complete kit for around $35 to include the needed tools and adhesives. Beware of cheap aftermarket batteries. Last, as of December 2020, Alphabet/Google no longer supports updates of this phone. Don't see this as a big problem as most Android made in 2019 are no longer supported either.

The one I purchased was listed as "Average" used condition, so I wasn't expecting much but I have been so happy with it so far. Even with some scratches, the phone looks great and works perfectly. Long battery, pretty much lasts a whole day. I'm upgrading from an old Iphone 5 so it's like night and day. Great camera and the phone is really lightweight. It's a good size to hold and fit in my back pocket, not too big like the XL which my brother has. I'm still getting used to a Google based phone but I do like how everything links together, it does get a little tricky when sharing pictures because of the google photos/drive, but it's not too bad. I didn't think I'd use the fingerprint unlock but it's so convenient I love it, I still have a code lock too so others can ... MoreThe one I purchased was listed as "Average" used condition, so I wasn't expecting much but I have been so happy with it so far.

I didn't think I'd use the fingerprint unlock but it's so convenient I love it, I still have a code lock too so others can get into it if needed, which is nice. The phone looks cool too, I did get a slim snap on case for it because my brother dropped his XL and cracked the upper glass portion on the back which didn't affect the phone but looks bad. My only complaint is the targeted ads and other notifications and suggestions, I've found you can disable them for the most part so it's less annoying. I'd still recommend the phone and am glad I switched from my IPhone.
