Since this phone was originally a Verizon phone, will it come with a bunch of Verizon BS apps that you can’t delete from the phone? I know the vision for the Google Pixel was to offer a clean phone, but carriers always seem to mess that up…
Unfortunately Google goes for internal battery and internal storage only. However I’ve got the Nexus 6p (predecessor to this phone) and have not had any issues with needing more storage or a spare battery. YMMV of course.
We use three Pixels at my house, all Verizon editions. There is no bloatware (Verizon apps) on them and two of them are used on Project Fi, one on Verizon. The only difference is you can’t unlock the bootloader on the Verizon editions to root them, but you can easily throw any SIM card in to use them on a different carrier. Mine receive their updates regardless of which carrier we’re using.
Definitely want to buy REFURBISHED phones here, not S&D (scratch and dent). This phone was almost perfect with just a few streaks on the front glass, but the body and back were flawless. Purchased (and returned) a S&D Sammy Galaxy S7 several months ago. That phone was in horrible shape. So, definitely go the refurbished route on Woot!
