Pros and Cons

Pros2

They are on the level with any flagship device. The last pixel with a non-google processor.

Great phone. Great battery life. Qualcomm snapdragon. Very easy to recover apps and files from previous phone.

Cons3

Google has very poor customer service for phone. There is a known motherboard issue with dozens of people having seen the same catastrophic failure - which converts the phone to a useless brick. The only fix is to restart the phone and call the person...  Read More

Google says it's no longer under warranty 9 months into the 1 year factory warranty. The problem is that the seller is not an authorized reseller, so if you try to have any repairs performed, the imei # will be invalid. Still waiting on more than $500...  Read More

Do not buy from google. Don't recommend. You have been warned. No warning; working one moment and then gone.

After 10 months of use, battery fails to achieve/hold a charge. Auto-brightness is way too dim and takes a long time to adapt to brighter lights or sometimes it doesn't adapt at all. There is absolutely no reason it should not be charging.

The gps is really bad on the phone. Maps closes itself randomly. The mobile hotspot used to work and now when other devices (phone, laptop, tablet) connect to my tcl, it says internet is not available.

When someone calls, the phone automatically answers and goes to speaker phone, even while in my pocket. It hangs up randomly while i'm speaking. This phone is just a headache all around. Phone is a paperweight.

You request to talk to a supervisor, but that is only a dream. Sadly will need to return.
