Google Pixel 32GB Factory Unlocked US Version Smartphone, 5 Inch Display (Quite Black)

Pone is great, my roommate has one. But...Do not purchase this phone from PEAK ASSETS on Amazon Marketplace! Ordered this phone-- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M01YX15/ref=cfb_at_prodpg, Google Pixel 32GB Factory Unlocked US Version Smartphone, 5 Inch Display (Quite Black) --from Peak Assets through Amazon. The product description was as follows: "Tested and works to full functionality. Item is used, so please expect signs of use such as dings and scratches on screen and case. Comes with a generic sync cable, nothing else is included." To my amazement, the phone had no SIM card tray...just an empty, hollow slot where the tray should be. This is kind of a big deal! Without a SIM card tray, you cannot insert a SIM card, or activate the phone. Extremely misleading. Very scammy. I have ordered a SIM card tray from a third party, at added expense, in hopes that I can still use the phone. This has been extremely inconvenient, as I have not been able to activate, or use the phone. Now I'm wondering if what else might not work on the phone. I would definitely NOT purchase from this seller again. It appears it came from a third party called Gatsby Electronics...the card that came with the phone had an email address to contact, with no phone number. Of course they never responded to my email. Apparently, purchasing from sellers on Amazon Marketplace is no different than purchasing from ebay. This has been a learning experience. I'm extremely disappointed in Amazon for allowing such practices.

I purchased this phone new from HometownDiscounts. The phone was as advertised: New (still in original packaging with stickers and wrapped on the items in the box), the right color, and the right model. The phone was unlocked and all I had to do was pop in my SIM card to activate it. I ordered from Canada, and the US Pixel version does, in fact, work on international networks. Really pleased with the service and quality.As for the Pixel itself, I am really happy with it so far. I am a bit of a luddite. I was still using my now almost five year old Nexus 5 up until the screen started peeling off the phone's cracked body. I like what I like and didn't want to spend $1000 on a new phone or get locked into a contract and payment plan. This was the best compromise I could think of, despite the risk of buying third party. The Pixel is surprisingly similar to the Nexus models, which I was very pleased about. I was only surprised because this was Google's entry into the luxury phone market. It retains the best parts of the Nexus phones (clean OS, practical design, etc.) while adding design improvements (great camera, fingerprint reader, better picture and sound, etc.). Overall, a great phone.Note: There is no warranty with this phone, as others have pointed out. The only way to get a warranty is to purchase through Google or a carrier. But considering that you're paying half price for a new phone that is unlocked and that Google doesn't even carry anymore, it's worth the risk to me.

I had it for a whole summer then all of a sudden the phone froze and shut off, it eventually came back on but then the battery went down 30% when I had it at 96%. Now it keeps doing the same thing.

I've had this phone for a little over 2 years now. It doesn't hold a charge at all (with be at 100% and 10 min. Later without being on it - it will go down to 80%. ) And it now randomly shuts off - it has shut off between 70% to 45%. And it won't turn back on unless I plug it in. I thought it was just mine. But a family member also got a pixel right around the same time as I did - and has the same issue!! It makes me not want to get another pixel in fear of having the same issue!!!

I wanted to buy this phone, so I find in all available choices in Amazon. I wouldn't buy used ones and the current item is all I can try. I read through most reviews and seems it looks risky, some say item not sealed, some say it looks like used. In particular, a buyer said the phone he bought from Abe's Electronics Center isn't sealed, and this is what the seller of current item.I was worried so I send a question to Abe's to confirm, and they say it is brand new. Okay I just trust them, and I've prepared for the worse scenario where I have to return this item if they lied.Fortunately they didn't lie, it indeed is brand new. I've used this phone for a week, there is no problem about it. Except when I first upgrade to Android 8, then to 9, both version makes the phone super lag and slow. So I had to downgrade back to 7.1, but it had nothing to do with the hardware. I like the phone very much and it worth every penny.Attached the photos I took to show case its great camera. The plant photo is taken with the "lens blur" feature, which gives very realistic bokeh effect. The other is taken in normal mode.
