Pixel 3 xl verizon version - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

I was wondering how to tell from an unopened box what version a pixel 3 xl is? Is the model number different? From searching on Google I only see G013C mentioned but it's not clear if that's a designation for either the play store or Verizon version

I'm not exactly sure what you are looking for. If you by it directly from Verizon, the phone will locked. If you buy it from google, you can get an unlocked verizon version and insert the verizon sim card. That is the version I bought for my wife.

Unless he's buying it online and the seller is saying it's a Google version and wants confirmation.

Just got my unlocked pixel 3 xl just black 128gb from the google store and it has a sku of GA00472-US. However the same phone from verizon has a sku of GA00478-US. So they are different. You can get the skus on verizons site, and by googling the different models as if you were buying them.

If you can get the IMEI number you can run it through this Verizon Website and it will return whether the device is VRZ or Non-VRZ

This is very helpful information as good searches have come up almost completely empty for me. I'm trying to find a used or refreshed google store variant and it seems impossible to find the info from the sellers. they all list the same model number as being GA00475-US. some advertise it as a Verizon unlocked phone, and some as a GSM unlocked phone. I'm looking for the 64GB version in black but they all just list the same aforementioned model number regardless. only info I'm finding is from best buy with that 475 number also listing it as a version unlocked phone. So I have no clue what I'm getting basically.
google runs a solid game... If anyone can offer further incite to me or feature searchers that would be much appreciated. what is the GA00475-US model number, is it just the 64GB version, and how can we be sure we're avoiding the Verizon garbage?

Maybe this post will help? The unopened box clearly states the IMEI. I would insist on knowing that IMEI anyway before purchase in order to check it is not blacklisted in the U.S.

If the imei starts with 35 it's Verizon and 99 it's Google. Also Verizon models will have a Sim Id or iccid and the Google model will have the EID or esim id

It's different now my IMEI starts with 99 and it's not only bootloader locked it's network locked to sprint.... i used this 99 IMEI thing to buy a pixel 3 xl from a third party and ya fool me once shame on me? Fool me twice ...... Ya

well it sucks to be me I bought a verizon 3 xl. damb! i thought for sure someone had figured out an exploit by now

Pixel XL 2: Unlocked and Verizon Variants in Google Store

This may be premature since the phones haven't shipped yet but when I go to order the phone on Google's website they give an option for a Verizon version with a sim card or an unlocked version. If both phones are the same except one has a locked bootloader then why bother to do this? Why not let Verizon sell their own variant with a locked bootloader? Are there any disadvantages or missing features when using the unlocked version on Verizon???
If both phones were the same and acted the same when on Verizon then I'd be royally pissed if I bought the Verizon pixel from Google's site only to find it had a locked bootloader. I'll bet that a lot of people will buy the Verizon version from the Google store thinking that the bootloader can still be unlocked because they bought it from Google and not at the Verizon store. I'm surprised more people aren't discussing this and warning others. In the past if you bought a gen. 1 pixel from the Google store it was guaranteed to be unlockable but now it doesn't seem to be the case and Verizon probably convinced Google to con purchasers into doing this since they get such a hard-on about locking bootloaders.
Now if the unlocked version doesn't work the same on the Verizon network (I.e. Volte does not work or signal strength isn't as good then I don't feel too bad about Google selling both variants directly from their store.
Thoughts??
I don't believe the Gen 1 Verizon pixel was ever intended to have an unlockable bootloader.
No it wasn't but there was no way to purchase a Verizon Gen 1 pixel from Google like there is for the Gen 2. If you wanted an unlocked bootloader you just bought the only pixel offered on the Google store. Now there is two options from the same store. I'm just worried that people will get the Verizon version from the Google store (not Verizon store) thinking that it's unlocked because they bought it from Google, not Verizon.
Do both phones (Verizon and unlocked versions) operate on the same bands with same features when activated on Verizon network?
The option for the version states that a SIM is included. My only guess is that they toss a SIM card in the box for you if you select Verizon.

I was wondering the same thing, I plan on activating on Verizon when I receive my unlocked XL 2. But decided to buy the unlocked version just in case there was something stupid like a locked down bootloader or something weird.
I ordered mine so fast I'm worried I selected the Verizon version by accident. In order status it shows nothing about whether you ordered the unlocked or the Verizon version. Can someone that ordered a Verizon version check and see if their order status says Verizon or anything? Mine just says Pixel 2 XL (128 GB, Just Black). No mention of unlocked or Verizon anywhere.

Go in and reorder it, I switched from a Panda Verizon XL 2 128gb that was gonna get delivered Nov7-9th to just black 128gb xl 2 unlocked which said Oct 25th. The shipping dates havent really changed much.

Same for me: no mention of Unlocked or Verizon on order acknowledgment...
If you are unsure, the advice to cancel and reorder is good, just with penalty of
later shipping.
I ordered mine while *slightly inebriated" last night. This morning I simply canceled my order and reordered it while 100% sober so that I knew 100% that I ordered an unlocked version and not the Verizon model. The order history didn't state unlocked or Verizon so I just wasn't sure... You can't be too sure of these types of things lol =)
Thanks for the post. I made the mistake of ordering the Verizon version. It does say this in the description on the order confirmation. Reordered and delivery date was reduced to October 27 from Nov 20.

It would be the first time for me to order a google (pixel) phone.
Im am from Germany, will the pixel from "Deutsche Telekom" (T-Mobile) be different than the one straight from the google store? :/
@EDIT: Asked the Support from Telekom Deutschland and tehy told me, that there isnt a difference between the Telekom Device and the Google Store Device in relation to Bootloader, updates or bloatware.
Can anyone verify if the unlocked version works the same as the Verizon version when on the Verizon network? Does volte and vvm work the same? Does the unlocked version have access to the same cell towers and lte bands? Or does Verizon cripple some features on the unlocked variant?

On the old Pixel XL it worked the same on either model. I had an unlocked Pixel XL and a Verizon Pixel and they both worked the same with features. VoLTE and VVM both worked fine. The only difference was the unlocked model showed as "other" Pixel device with a generic picture in my Verizon account and the Verizon pixel showed as "Verizon Pixel" with an actual picture of the phone.

Thanks for confirming. I think I'm ok then since it looks like the Verizon version actually states it in the order status.

Would this also apply if you order the Pixel 2 XL from Verizon directly?
This is happening exactly as I predicted. People are being duped into buying the Verizon pixel 2 from the Google store thinking that the bootloader can be unlocked because they purchased from the Google store instead of the Verizon store.

I can get the Verizon version directly from them through my work for $350, that is why I was wondering.
Can someone who ordered the Verizon Pixel show a snippet of the confirmation page?
If VZW version is the same as the unlocked one, and Google is simply throwing in the SIM card, insert the VZW SIM card after turn on the phone and unlock the bootloader.
Google Customer service confirmed to me on the phone that bootloader for Verizon version is locked but should get OS and security patch updates directly from Google if bought from Google Store. He wasn't sure about OS updates if phone is bought from Verizon.

Well last year was the Pixel different when ordering directly from Verizon with updates?
The boot loader unlocked really is not necessary in my case because I would be happy just to be on stock Android with regular updates.

It's on a CDMA network that's why it has a PRL . I'd say its either on Verizon or sprint or even project fi. You can always call google with the person and verify what version it is
Even better, and doesn't require Google to call, is to ask the seller if they have the box. If they do, have them look for a SIM ID number - NOT ESIM ID number - on the box. If one is present, you have a Verizon device, as all Verizon Pixels have a nano SIM included in the box.

That site works for the LG P2XL, does not work for the P2. I also would not post your IMEI which is a unique number. The phone will still work on any network, although if Verizon the bootloader will be locked.

It is a pixel 2 xl, forgot to add the xl. Figures it was fine since its in the xl forum. Yes I know vzw can't unlock the bootloader that's why I'm trying to find out where it's from. The person who owns it isn't tech friendly, it was hard enough telling them how to find the imei. I want a google one. I already have one but want a second and its a good deal $400, with a ton of chargers and cases.
Download the Swappa App, it will tell you which version you have. Tap Identify Your Device at the top. If it's Verizon then it will be labeled, " Google Pixel 2 Xl - Verizon Edition.

Proof? Google Is Shipping Users Verizon Phones Instead Of Unlocked Ones

So my boot loader is not unlockable on my 64 GB Just Black Unlocked Pixel 3 XL and I just could not stop researching this while I waited for my RMA.
In chrome when searching at the top, the following string is inside the search (You have to search for something not go to a website) client=ms-android-verizon

I have unlocked my bootloader and have vzw apps installed. Those are standard for accepting your sim cards. You should have Sprint on there somewhere also. Maybe other carriers as well. Standard. Afaik. Idk why you can't unlock your bl. Are your platform tools up to date? I have all those apps you listed and ordered mine from Google, 128 GB black. Received about a month ago.
its normal, if you have VZW sim it installs the correct packages to get certain carrier functions working (i.e img, volte, vowifi etc)

I like your thinking but I just got the RMA and its letting me unlock it! This one is also missing the following

The ones I still have

So looks like different shipped phones
Looking at buying the device on Google store it defaults to the Verizon variant. So if you just blasted through the buying process you could've bought a Verizon model from Google. Also them "accidentally" shipping a Verizon model is just as likely so it could be either, but it's worth checking your receipt to see what you guys bought.

I had to read this post a 2 times before I deleted my rage comment. Yes I checked and I have attached my original purchase. I made sure it was unlocked.
I also bought unlocked from Google, I checked and didn't want to blur my info(so you'll just have to take my word on it)(or not), and I have all the listed apks from op. But I also had no issue unlocking it. Also to note, I have straight talk service that uses VZW towers, so that could also be the culprit. But I did blast through the buying process when Google released the 3xl, but had no ill effects. Lol
It was just a guess, but obviously I was wrong. I bought an unlocked model myself, popped in my verizon sim and ran stock for about two weeks before I unlocked the bootloader. So it has to be a device issue imo, else I'd be in the same boat if It had something to do with a Verizon sim.

I bought unlocked and out my Verizon SIM in as well.
I might have unlocked before popping in SIM, I can't remember now =\

Do I have Verizon's Pixel XL?

Hello folks,
I am sorry for adding one more question to this dilemma?
I just got a refurb Pixel XL from ebay. I specifically told the seller that I am looking for a google version and not verizon but it seems, they sent me Verizon version as OEM Unlocking is grayed out in Developer options. Is that the only test there is to figure out if its Verizon or Unlocked google phone?
One of the threads linked http://www.imeipro.info/check_lg.html but it doesn't recognize IMEI of the phone I received.
Finally, I found this thread, https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/how-to-unlock-bootloader-verizon-pixel-t3796030 Can these instructions be used for a Verizon device running Android Pie/9.0? If yes, I will keep the device as its in pristine condition.
Thanks in advance, for all helpful comments.
You can unlock the bootloader on Verizon yes.

I actually bought an XL off eBay and sent it back as it was a Verizon, confirmed with a Google rep, and didn't know I could unlock the bootloader.
I bought another one and it was also a Verizon, but I did follow the guide after updating to Pie and it still works great. Now I'm fully rooted nad bootloader is unlocked.
Would unlocking the bootloader on a Verizon version essentially make it a normal Google Pixel XL? Any other differences? I want to use a Verizon Pixel for AT&T.

I had previously read that only Play Store editions are unlockable, so I was surprised to see this thread say Verizon is unlockable.

To see if your phone is Verizon, go here ( https://www.verizonwireless.com/od/prepaid/bring-your-own-device/?imei=352630085164358#/checkDevice) and enter your IMEI. You'll get one of two responses:
If it's a Verizon phone, it will say "Awesome, your Google Pixel XL, Phone by Google is a perfect match for our network.."
If it's not Verizon, it will say "Awesome, your Google PIXEL XL NON-VZW is a perfect match for our network."

I usually use Swappa myself. I always ask the seller to do the IMEI check and show me a screenshot of the answer, and if they don't I move on to another seller. I also ask them if they are sure it's a Google model and not a Verizon model and tell them that it needs to be a Google model so I can unlock the bootloader, making clear that I'm not talking about carrier unlocked but bootloader unlocked. That way, at least it's documented so if it turns out to be a Verizon Swappa can see what I was asking for.
I've seen a lot of people get Verizon models on eBay so be careful about them. In my experience, Swappa is pretty good at dealing with things. It's the sellers that don't always make it clear exactly what model you are buying.
I didn't realize they don't allow questions for businesses selling phones. I've always got mine from private individuals on Swappa. I've bought about 4-5 phones on Swappa and never had a problem with them. Just need to probe the seller a lot.
Good luck.

See if you can toggle OEM unlocking in Developer Options. If so you can unlock the bootloader. I've never seen both of those come up but considering it says "NVZW" I would guess it is not a Verizon model. Can't be 100% sure though.
