What's the real story as to where the Pixel XL is in the U.S. ?
- Google's own website says sign up for a news letter as to when the phone will be back in stock sometime next year
- Verizon is out of stock on the XL for two months !!!
- BestBuy discontinued the XL, will not carry it anymore
What's up with BestBuy discontinuing and not carrying or selling the XL anymore ?
My guess this falls on HTC's manufacturing capabilities, I bet the Pixel and Pixel XL, have sold more than the entire run of HTC Ten this year. And maybe HTC just can't keep up with demand, and now Google is scrambling behind the scenes. Or maybe Google wasn't thinking like they typically do on Nexus launches, and completely underestimate how many will sell ?
Sometimes I think the Nexus and now Pixel line is just some little pet project in the basement at Google's headquarters, with just the ultra nerd team working on it, with like 1% help from the upper brass and management. At the end of the day selling HTC made Google phones isn't making them their billion$.
I just bought one from the Google store about twenty minutes ago. I kept loading the page and every now and then it would show in stock. Had it in my cart once and at checkout it glitched and went away, second time it went through. I am guessing they are only allowing one sale every so often so they can keep up.
Black 32gb xl, 2-3 week estimate for shipping fyi...

What I know for shure is, that one of HTC bigger Factories got destroyed by a Tsunami (also some more like some from Canon and so on), and the Parts they need, can only be manufatured slower than before.
And also due to the huge demand of the bigger variants they arent able to accomplish their request. I have pre Ordered the Pixel XL 128 GB Quite Black in Germany, and eventhough I had pre Ordered, I had to wait nearly 1 1/2 Months to get it.

I ordered mine in Google store Germany on 16th of December and was delivered on 22nd
Got my 128 from Verizon and it took 2 days. It originally said won't ship til Dec 28 but ended up taking 2 days.

For 900 dollars you can get a piece of **** phone!
I know, I got one!
I ordered mine through a Verizon deal on the 19th of december, estimated delivery date is the 18th of January. Still waiting unfortunately.
I ordered my phone on 12/19 was suppose to ship on the 28th, instead I got the notice that it was delayed 2 months. I wonder if this phone will turn out to be a great phone but extremely rare. It's bad when Bestbuy stops carrying the phone.
I was lucky. I woke up at 03:00 am and couldn't go back to sleep, so I got on the web. Went to several places looking for 128gb Pixel XL and it was atrocious. $1600 on Amazon. Goughers!!! Anyways, I went to eBay and was looking and all of the sudden I found 128g used Pixel XL. I couldn't believe my eyes. Well, I bought it. Says it's in good condition. We'll see. Anyways, hope it works out. I'm currently using Pixel 5.0 and I love this thing. I had a note 7 and I finally turned it on last week. no regrets.

Yeah what the heck is up with that?
Google will never catch Apple like this. Really frustrating. I've read many reviews of iPhone lovers making the switch and adoring this phone but maybe make it available??
My Nexus 6 is starting to die off, and I'm in the market for a new device. I've been eyeing the Pixel XL since it was announced, and now I can't find one. I looked at Best Buy, but they don't carry the 128gb models, and the price of the 32 P and PXL are inflated.
So, with the "shortage" I feel like I'm in a weird place. Currently, only the OnePlus 3T and the Pixel XL are attractive, and both are out of stock and at minimum weeks away.
Not sure if I should keep waiting for the PXL at this point, or just look for something new coming out in the spring.

Ebay
Does anyone know why BestBuy officially stopped selling the Pixel XL ? Their website says product discontinued or something ? But they still sell the tiny Pixel.
I went to BB today, asked a cell phone salesperson about the XL he said Best Buy took that product off the system and they no longer offer it.
I asked if they'll get it back in the near future ? He said he wasn't sure.
This sucks, because I got a crap load of BB gift certificates for Christmas and I had a few left over from my Birthday totaling $350 now, and was gonna purchase a Pixel XL outright, but tyry don't sell the phone anymore.
Exactly how the 6P sold. Always sold out and you're lucky to get one.
It's all kind of ridiculous. I checked with my Verizon store. You cannot get a Pixel XL, or even Pixel 128GB within 100 miles of me at any store. All colors. I then talked to the corporate people and they said they have called 19 different stores across 5 states and none of them had any of these aforementioned models within 100 miles of there either.
I think Google is really dropping the ball. I get trying to drive up interest by making it seem like everyone wants it so it's perpetually out of stock, but most people won't wait a month or longer for a phone - they'll just get the next "droid" over from that one (probably an S7 Edge the way Verizon employees love Samsung and push them so hard).
I'm really rooting for this phone like to knock Samsung and Apple a bit, but they need to learn to manufacture a little quicker or get better forecasts of sales. For a company based on algorithms, their forecast algorithm sure does suck tremendously.
It really is unbelievable how Google can miscalculate and underestimate how many units they need to produce for stock. I could see when the phone first launched they may have been caught off guard how much of a hit seller this would be.
But it's been out for three months already. They should have a firm grasp where they need to be production wise.
And to have it sold out for 6 to 8 more weeks still. Wow.
Once Sansung releases the Galaxy S8 in March / April, the Pixel line will see a major drop in sales, and will just be the ultra nerd geek phone again like the Nexus phones. The average buying public will for sure be tempted by the new S8.
Even though myself I still prefer a good stock Android phone #1, I'd take a Pixel XL over the S8 Plus phone. But most people won't.

All very true. Most people love Samsung now since it has become almost as well known as Apple. I mean, I hear people say, "do you have an iPhone or a Galaxy?" Talk about an ignorant question, but that's people's mentality about phones. Google can change that with the next few iterations of the Pixel as people get more familiar with the name (if Google keeps pushing it with the ads too!) but they need to learn how to produce phones that are in high demand. It's really disappointing and frustrating.
Ordered mine December 16th and it still says January 20th expected ship date.
I ordered a Pixel XL 32GB black December 20th and it's listed as Pending with an estimated shipping date between January 13 and 17.
Conspiracy theory here, tinfoil hat time. What if the Pixel actually was selling very well on Verizon from Oct - Dec. which I think it was, and now it's out of stock. But what if the big guys like Samsung and LG got pissed they had competition from Google directly, and viewed this Pixel phone as a threat, and maybe they made a stink about it ?
That also begs the question, maybe Google didn't originally allow the Pixel phones to be on all U.S. carriers for a reason, knowing if it got real popular and was a success, it might dent into the sales of the big Android players like Samsung, LG, Motorola, etc... And then a **** storm would brew up.
I don't see any benefit with pre-ordering it as I will be waiting weeks till I actually get my purchase and I can pass on the google home mini so I rather just buy it when it actually releases but I don't want to be in the same situation as others had when the Pixel XL released. So if anyone can help me decide if I should preorder or if I should be good when the Pixel 2 XL actually releases. Im hoping Google learns from their mistakes and makes enough Pixel 2 XLs for everyone:fingers-crossed: also I plan on getting 128gb btw if that helps. Thanks!
If it's been like every other year, you can guarantee it. You can set your watch to it. Ordering problems, whatever you can think of.
It's going to be a cluster ****. So, if you want one, take tomorrow off work and be prepared to get a new F5 key or keyboard.

I m optimistic that this year will be better than last. After at least a couple years now where Google has had a hard time keeping stock, they've hopefully learned their lesson. They dumped a bunch of money into LG's screen division this year, hopefully to help up production. Also, the pixel 2 will have a more typical development window (maybe) than the pixel which went from concept to production in an un characteristically short amount of time. Finally, while LG is no Samsung, I think they are bigger than HTC with greater production capabilities. Hopefully these things add up to a better stock of phones at release. Of course, there are no guarantees.
I've pre-ordered every year and have always had a negative inventory experience! Guess we'll find out soon if this launch is different...
Placed my order for Pixel XL 2 during the show.
Shipment 1 Delivery October 19–October 20
Pixel 2 XL (64 GB, Just Black)
$849.00
Quantity: 1
Its already unavailable!
I ordered mine during the event as well, 2 XL 128GB just black. I was going to go with the 64gb version but looked at my phone and saw I would only have about 20gb left if mine was 64gb (I have a 128gb currently). That is one years worth of use on my Pixel XL and I haven't removed anything from my device. I think I would rather have less than 50% used than more than, so wasted the extra $100.
Pixel 2 128XL Black pre-ordered 11:15pst, Ships around Oct 17...
I'm holding off on buying 2 XL until enough user feedback shows Google solved the LTE cellular data thing.
100% chance. They probably have like 5 in stock right now.
A bit off topic.
Did you guys saw that there were 3 phones on the Google family photos.
And in the live demo the appointment Pixel Ultra.
Maybe the leak last week was true or Google saw it and is making a huge joke.

I dont think that 3rd phone was the ultra. It had a case on it so I think they were just showing off the case.
Preordered 2 XL's 128GB's in the Panda color, says Nov 8-9th for date
google screwed up this phone with those bezels so they won't be running out of stock since people are leaning towards the s8+ note 8..
I experienced the same $#!+ show I expected after being a part of the Nexus 5, 6P, and Pixel launch. I tried for hours to get a black and white 2 XL to go through the checkout process. As always, you can thank the garbage people of eBay.

Anyone who thinks S8 is better than Pixel XL is ignorant.
I casually ordered a black XL a while after it went live, had 0 issues and it is suppose to be delivered between Oct 24th and 27th.
Really looking forward to finally having something worth upgrading from my Nexus 6.

I am a student and want to buy this phone immediately but I just waiting for the Black Friday.
Don't you think that there will be a discount or something on next Friday, or it's better to order it now?
I am upgrading from iPhone 6 plus, so 5t or Galaxy s8+ ???

I doubt they will have any Black Friday pricing. Their website lists Black Friday deals for accessories, but no mention of the phones themselves. It's a Chinese company that does all of its sales online. Also if you look at last year's Black Friday it looks like the 3T wasn't on sale either.
edit: there are other posts discussing the comparison between this and an s8
You can use the 10% student discount if you can verify your student status.

I doubt you'll see any Black Friday deals on this. It's way too new.
If you have an .edu email, you can get 10% off direct from OnePlus. I'm still taking classes at PSU so I got my 128 for 553.
If you see my signature those are the phones I currently have (some for testing). Right now, the Note 8 is my daily driver. It does everything well and can be rooted (even the VZW) but will likely never be unlocked. The Pixel 2 XL is just OK. I liked the Pixel XL better. The Essential has a great design and wreaks of quality, but a 5.7" screen is simply too small for me. Also IPS vs OLED screens. OLD is better in my view. The Essential camera is horrible but several software updates made it bearable.
I'll be selling my Essential and Pixel 2 and keeping the Note 8 and the 5T.
I saved 1 cent. https://imgur.com/a/CQu2j
You can do the $20 off accessory with purchase https://goo.gl/wBvTXD
That will get you free OnePlus bullets and many other things like a dash car charger for $7.
Hey guys just came across someone selling a brand new sealed clean IMEI number pixle 2 XL 128GB version for $700. I heard so much negativity about the screen burn in issues or blue tint on the screen but besides that nothing else so is a brand new sealed pixle 2 XL 128GB be worth buying? I need some options would any of you guys pull the trigger since you guys had lots of time with y'all pixle. Thanks in advance.

That's not a bad deal, if it were 600, I'd go for it if it's a Google version. I haven't had any of the issues you've read about, not that their not true, I just haven't had them, and I ordered it on release day. I'm enjoying the heck outa mine, fast, smooth, unlocked, rooted, themed, and romed up. Having said all that, it's mid March, and the P3 will probably come out in October. So unless your in dire need of a phone, I'd hold off until then. But that's just me :good:

I'd still recommend the Pixel 2 XL over any other smartphone right now in March 2018. It's not that old, it got released in mass to the public in November last year, and stock Android is so smooth and just a pleasure to use. I wouldn't take a Galaxy S9+ for free nor an iPhone X over my 2 XL.

I don't recommend a used/sealed resell pixel 2 xl. The warranty is only for the original owner. If the person bought the preferred that can be transferred but not the original. So if you need that phone replaced then the original owner would need to contact Google. Buy directly from Verizon or Google imo.

I truly hope so cause they've been denying people hard who bought 2xls second hand from what I've seen. And it's not supposed to transfer from owner to owner.

Mate for that price definitely buy it. If you can confirm it is sealed and under warranty it would be crazy not to buy it. The battery life and smoothness on this device is great. I got the note 8 thinking it would be smooth with 6GB ram and have good battery life. I returned the device in 2 days couldn't stand it. Got the pixel 2 XL and loving it.
I won't buy another samsung device for years to come. I had the S4, Note 5, S7 Edge and Note 8. All of them had lag and battery life issues.
However i had a sony xz premium for 8 months that always ran smooth with great battery life. Samsung in my opinion is not worth it. It looks beautiful wirh amazing display but performance is not there. The Google Pixel is a much better device overall.
I would happily recommend the Pixel 2 XL over any phone out there today.
The best screen I have ever seen on a phone is the sony xz premium. It was out of this world. Much better than samsung in my opinion.
However as a daily driver my Pixel is just king. From now.on I'm a Pixel user as I will upgrade to next pixel handset
Damn thanks for all you guys opinions seems like it's really worth buying then. I'll be meeting up with the seller later on today.

Let's say I wanna get the Pixel 3 XL (yeah, even with that notch). Would you rather trade-in your current Pixel 2 xl with Google itself OR sell on Swappa or craigslist? or anywhere else?
1 . The phone is all stock, will be giving the Caseology case with it too and also two D-brand skins.
2. Inlcuding adapter, charger and cable.
3. Minor scratch on left side of the bottom speaker grill; not in the display area. Could post a picture when I have a second device to do so
Also, not sure what my next phone could be. Could be Note 9 or OP 6t too. Just not sure right now. But I am sure I am upgrading this year.

I don't know what these phones are selling for on Swappa or Craigslist, but last year, Google gave $400-450 (can't remember which for sure) for a pixel xl trade in, as long as the screen wasn't cracked and the phone worked. Since the 2's were more expensive, that number may be higher. I'm betting you'll get more from Google (and it'll be easier). If I end up getting the 3 xl, I'm just trading it in with Google.

I've had phones sit for 3 weeks before. And I've never gotten $400 for a phone. Most have been two years old though. Anyway, I'm going with less work for sure!
They gave me $430 trade in last year for my Pixel XL. Might do the same this year pending details and specs....
Looking at other's posts, it may be worth it to wait and see what Google offers for trade.
If you decide to sell, I recommend swappa.
I have bought 22 devices and sold 21, since December of 2012. I've only had minor issues, a couple times, which were resolved to my satisfaction. BTW, all of these sales and purchases were for my or my family's personal use. I'm an not a dealer / reseller in any way.
I just bought my first Pixel 2 XL a couple weeks ago, on swappa. It was in good shape (only one minor scratch on screen) and one bezel nick with two cases, original box and all accessories, for $460.
I'm going to see what Google offers for the 2 XL. Now I'm just thinking do I want 3 XL or 3? Leaning towards a smaller phone this go around.

Yeah, looks like I'm gonna see what Google has tomorrow & what they offer for trade in. I do want a screen as big as now (6 inch) or bigger. So it has to be something like the Pixel 3 XL (never minded any notches), Note 9 or OP 6t. However, I never liked one thing about Samsung phones. Being a heavy user in the past of Samsung phones (S3, S5, S6 edge plus), I know for sure the amount of bloatware that comes with them, even if it is the latest flagship & an unlocked device; then there is the forever wait for the software updates too, etc. That is why I do want a phone with stock or at least close to stock android UX.
Then there is OP; great software experience which is close to stock and cheap! BUT that is exactly the problem. In the past, some teardowns of the One plus devices have shown the material quality used in production of these devices is really mediocre. Example like wiring, semi conductor materials, metal quality, etc.
So in the end, guess what? Pixel 3 XL remains. Let's see!
So long as google doesnt botch the trade-ins again this year (I waited months to get my credit, as did many others), it will be the same or better than swappa, once you deduct swappa fees, most likely paypal fees, and the hassle of shipping it out.
Google sends you all you need for the trade-in at no cost to you.
After watching the last leak, I can see how huge that 3Xl is, although the notch doesn't bother me and the display looks good. But dang I might downsize and go with the 3. I guess I'll know in a few hours
So if I decide to pull the trigger today and then trade my 2XL in does anyone know what happens with preferred care? Do they give you a refund prorated back, apply it to preferred on the 3XL, or is there something manual to do? Thanks
Trade in for Pixel 2 XL is only $325! I'll either sell it or give to my daughter

Far less than what I got for my Pixel XL going to 2XL
Looks like I will pass on this one.

The pixel 2 xl 64gb is $325, 128gb is $335
The pixel 2 64gb is $300, 128gb is $327
The pixel xl 32gb is $130, 128gb is $154
The pixel 32gb is $119, 128gb is $124
Yeah mine is 64gb. I feel like I got a better trader in plus the Google home mini going from an og pixel to pixel 2 XL.
As I recall they charged your card when it shipped. That's how many of us knew ours was shipping. Looks like they charged right away this time.
I went with the 2Xl in the end. I like the notifications tucked in the corners and it was only $100 for 64gb.
Just received a Google email for a $50 store credit on a Pixel 3. whoopty doo!
Any idea if 2XL case will fit? They're only $10-15 so no big deal if not

Some may, it depends on how the case handles the buttons. The 3XL buttons are in slightly different position than 2XL. The 3XL buttons also appear to be very slightly smaller.
I ordered a spigen rugged armor for the 3 XL, it just came today.
The phones look to be identical in size, just with different button offsets, so if the 2XL case has openings for the buttons as opposed to covering them it would probably work. If anything it may need a small trim to accomodate the buttons.
