How to tell if Pixel XL is Google or Verizon Edition?

I bought a Pixel XL used on eBay and I can't seem to find any way of telling which version of the phone this is.
The model number is the same for the Verizon and Google models.
Anyone know of a way to distinguish the two?

Go to developer options and see if OEM unlocking is blocked out

That only works if new in-the-box.
Once unlocked the toggle is grayed out, even on the Google version.

Actually it's greyed but says if the bootloader unlocked

This is going to sound stupid, but I was so excited to unlock the bootloader that I used the dePixel8 to unlock it, without even checking.
I read that it would work on a Verizon or Google one and did it, without thinking of not being able to tell what version it is in the future.

Check you're Cid. Vzw is vzw001 I believe.

anyone figured this out?

At the bottom back of phone is a model number. You need a magnifying glass to see it. Somewhere on this forum is the key to the different model numbers. I saw it a couple days ago but don't remember where.

Mine is 2PW2100 and I'm on Fi SIM but it supports Verizon too. Mine is an RMA replacement of a bad Google Nexus 6p.

My Google model number shows up in Settings>System>About phone>Regulatory labels as a G-2PW2100.

The verizon and google version have the same model number. That is probably why OP is asking how to tell the difference.
EDIT: you can tell by using the following command after enabling usb debugging in developer options.
Code:
adb shell getprop ro.boot.cid
Verizon will return something like VZW__001
and Google will return all 1's like 11111111

What if its all 0s ?

Consider me in the boat as well, a victim of the locked boot loader Verizon model
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/hope-pixel-xl-g-2pw2100-android-8-0-to-t3724789
Inform me if a way was found to unlock its bootloader for customizations.
Thanks.

I was pointing this out to a V store manager and when we checked his personal Pixel XL under developer options, the OEM Unlocking option did not even show. It wasn't grayed out, it was hidden. I held my real Pixel XL up next to his and showed the option there. He finally relented and admitted/realized that the Verizon phone is not the same as the pure Google phone. Verizon f's them up. :laugh:

I there any other way to tell? For example is the VZW model missing certain bands that the Play model supports? Or a different serial number? Im trying to buy a Pixel XL and I dont want to be F*CKED over with the Verizon one and none of the sellers show the settings page with OEM Unlocking. If I cant figure this out Im just going to get a different phone

Turn on Dev options and look to see if the OEM unlock slider is blue or gray. If it's blue it can be unlocked.
That is the only way to be sure. Even the CID check can be wrong, we have seen quite a few phones mislabeled by Google.

Well that sucks, the only reason I wanted to make sure is because I dont want to argue with the seller to take it back for an issue they most likely dont understand (that and I dont want to pay return shipping only to end up with another Verizon model). Also the only reason I am even considering replacing my Nexus 6 is the fact it has a 32 bit CPU and the fact Google seems to be itching to get rid of 32 bit support completely

What I did: 1. look for private sellers, not stores or dealers, and avoid refurbs; 2. look for the color on the box being labelled in French as well as English (Verizon versions only show color in English); 3. contact the seller to ask them if they bought it direct from Google (if bought from anywhere other than Google Store or Project Fi it is the Verizon version).

Verizon says they can't activate a Google pixel xl

Bought a Google pixel xl off swappa. Says he never had the phone activated. I think I read that if a pixel is on fi it won't work on another network. Took the pixel xl to Verizon to get a new sim. They asked for the ime number. His tablet said Verizon can't activate the device or acknowledge the device because it's not a Verizon device or something. I did do a network reset in settings. Any ideas?

My Pixel XL and wife's Pixel are both Google purchased phones running on Verizon. All I did was take the sim chip out of my Google purchased Nexus 6 and put it in my Pixel XL. My wife's old phone had the wrong size sim chip so we took it into a Verizon store to get activated.

Project Fi devices can be used on other networks as long as they have been paid for in full and the device is no longer linked to a Project Fi account. I don't know the specifics of Verizon though. If you buy a Pixel from Verizon the bootloader is locked. If you buy a Pixel anywhere else the bootloader can be unlocked. If the Verizon rep told you they wouldn't active a non Verizon device it's possible that Verizon changed their bring your own phone policy (which is something some carriers like Virgin Mobile do not allow you to do) or that they changed their policy specifically for Pixels because they don't want the unlockable versions on their network. It's also possible you got a bad customer service rep who was misinformed and that you need to call back and speak to someone else.
There are also a couple of other possibilities. You might have purchased a stolen phone that is blacklisted or that your seller is on the up and up but needs to contact Project Fi to deregister the device with them before you can register it someplace else. I've had this happen with other carriers when I sold used phones I no longer wanted to keep.
I'm thinking about selling my Pixel XL because I'm not thrilled with it and contacted Pixel support yesterday to get some info. They said there was no restriction on my selling the device (which isn't even 6 weeks old) and that the warranty from the Google Store and the extended warranty I purchased could both be transferred to the new owner.
The thing you read about Project Fi devices not being usable on other networks was a temporary glitch where they were black listing former devices in error. It isn't Project Fi policy to prevent members from taking their phones to another carrier or selling them as long as the phone has been paid for. If you purchased a Pixel through the Fi Store rather than Google you can't change carriers with that phone until its been completely paid for.

Good luck.

I actually bought my pixel XL from Google, and got on a plan with Verizon. Originally they said they couldn't do it. They asked for my imei and kept telling me it wouldn't allow the phone to be activated or that it was invalid.
I knew a bit more than the Verizon rep, so i asked if he can just use his phone and Imei to activate the SIM card, and then I'd take the activated sim card and slide it into the pixel.
I had to help a friend do this also, Verizon is picky when it comes to phones not purchased from them. And they are real quick to say "since it's not a Verizon pixel it won't work", at least that's what I got multiple times

I knew that was it! He kinda acted shady abt activating it. Once he entered the IMEI number do you think the phone is now flagged by Verizon on their system?
Do they have to have the IMEI number anyways?

It isn't​ flagged. You got a VZ rep that didn't know what they were doing. Very common. Go to a corporate store, better chance of finding someone that has a clue.

That will work perfectly for you.

I got my Pixel yesterday, from VZW, it was the last one they had. I dropped it this morning, which cracked the screen, and was thinking of getting one from Gooble. So I can unlock the bootloader, I prefer my own Android builds, even though there's really not a lot of bloatware on this device and it is running Andy 8.0 DP3.
I'm on the fence, I cannot get by without a phone, friends are recommending many different devices (so I will develop some ROMs, of course), but I really want a Pixel and Verizon is my only option for a carrier...

I will. Gotta do the father's day stuff in a few and then I'll stop by to activate my Verizon n6. I think it's a easy activation, it's just the Reps and their sales tactics. I have read that the Verizon Pixel can't be unlocked now with the new update. Just a heads up

Be careful. I bought my first Nexus 6P from an Amazon seller and she was a scammer --although her feedback looked good when I made the purchase. She provided a tracking number and the day it was supposed to arrive I anxiously waited. Then I got a text that the package was delivered but I had no package. Initially I thought UPS had misdelivered the package but then I noticed that according to the tracking number it had been delivered to a completely different state. I checked her feedback again and found she had done the exact same thing to a bunch of other buyers. When she wouldn't return any messages and her feedback kept going down it was apparent she was a scammer. I reported her to Amazon and it took them two weeks to suspend her account --during which time she sold at least 30 more phones. It also took forever to get a refund from Amazon since it involved a fraud investigation. I'm much more careful with third party sellers on Amazon, particularly for anything expensive although third party sellers offering cheap Chinese knock off products are also very common on Amazon. Like I said, be careful. People have reported buying new computers from third party sellers on Amazon that had bootleg versions of Windows installed with a key generator program that was still installed on the computer.

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.

Pixel 3 xl verizon version

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

Buying Pixel 3 XL renewed on Amazon. How to tell if bootloader locked?

Searching on Amzn for Pixel 3 XL renewed devices and I don't know how to tell if the bootloader is locked (to Verizon) or unlocked.
I heard something about the unlocked version IMEI starting with 9900 but when a phone is listed on Amazon, the person isn't going to show the IMEI.
Any way to tell when reading the item description?
Thanks
(I guess I can also send a message and ask but was hoping to get device next day).

Dont quote me on this, but Ive read on Google's site that only the Verizon model is locked. Not surw about IMEI or anythibg. I got mine directly from google so its unlocked. If it's not Verizon, its not locked. I brliev3 the newer Verizon ones are also not locked but like i said, dont quote me on it. just avoid a Verizon version and you should be good.

You need the IMEI to be sure. 99 is Google, 35 is Verizon. When they say unlocked they mean SIM unlocked, so you can use it on any carrier. All of the Pixels I have seen purchased on Amazon are the bootloader locked versions. A couple have been unlockable, but it is super rare.

I've bought 3 Pixel phones and a 6P on Amazon. Usually on Amazon Prime Day. All were new and unlocked. That being said, in the link you provided if you go to "questions" you will see the Seller giving the model number as VZPI3XL64JB. Looks to be a Verizon phone to me, and that means bootloader is locked and cannot be unlocked. Keep looking and you will find the right one.
