Pros and Cons

Pros5

This isn't a budget phone, it's a solidly mid range phone that will perform adequately. The pure android experience from google is awesome, way better than i expected. The only downside is the very unsightly massive camera bar.

T-mobile's network isn't the best in our area, but there will be times when i have very good reception and she won't have service at all. If i use my gps for a 1 hour drive, this works extremely well. Took phone to japan and used tourist sim while in ...  Read More

The processor is crisp and responsive. Like my previous 3a, it tends to run hot.

The touch screen is top notch. The magic eraser is great to magically erase those strangers who are in the background. Back in my day, if your phone screen cracked, you could buy a new phone.

Easy to use with many different shooting modes. For me with my usage battery life is more than sufficient. Hopefully battery holds up over the long term.

This pixel is the worst phone i've ever had. It's pretty atrocious. This is completely unacceptable.

I like the pictures and video but it overheats recording video easily in the semitropical climate i live in. Maybe my standards for a phone are unrealistic, but this camera * at anything difficult.

The screen stops responding after 3 months of normal use. The warranty from google for this phone is one year. They sell broken phones and hope you will be to irritated to return them or right a review.

G hardly works unless you happen to be closest to the tower the modem optimizes as the best. Loses connectivity all the time, while every other device in our house work well. This is a major nuisance, since i bought good headphones for my past phone -...  Read More

Pros3

Great battery life and great camera. Comes unlocked and works with local thai sim card. Wireless charger is good but disconnects easily.

Not a single scratch on it. There are a few minor nicks along the side edge near camera area which were not really noticeable from 12 inches away.

Easy to use, easy transferring info. Fingerprint reader works perfect. User-friendly one ui.

Cons3

The seller is not compassionate and doesn't care about my concerns. Condition was supposed to be excellent, but was unusable. Obviously not inspected as advertised. I have asked respectfully for a refund or exchange, however seller wants to enforce th...  Read More

The charger port and sim card ports are damaged. Why is my device malfunctioning the way it is? Because it's defective. Phone freezes, restarts or turns off randomly numerous times a day. The charger given is not for this phone.

All 3 camera lenses on the product were obscured with grime, dirt, water, visible from the outside. Display corner seems like water damage. Camera lense has scratch.
