Google Pixel 2XL Now $240 on Verizon

[Joshua Greve]

I actually got the Pixel 3a for $300 with the current promo from Verizon.... Then when I saw the newest promo for the 2XL for $240?!?! I couldn't take the 3a back fast enough. For $60 LESS I get a much faster processor, the Visual Core chip, a bigger, (albeit not better) screen, a much bigger battery, better build quality, (gotta love the panda look) and IP67 rated water resistance. Oh and those slimmer bezels and better dual speaker placement too! In comparison when you can get that much more for LESS money that is a major, major, major GO! (Thanks Floss) Now I will absolutely miss the headphone jack but if that's the biggest caveat I can definitely live with that. The screen issues are legit but not overwhelming by any means and again basic flagship status for $240?!?! I'm all in

I was almost in the same boat. I have heard great things about the 3a but I was worried it would get glitchy before my 2 years were up (my wife doesn't get my love for phones so things would get frosty if I dropped 300$ on a phone after only 1 year. Lol). Plus, it's not waterproof and I was nervous that listening to podcasts in a humid bathroom every morning as I do would take it's toll.

Then I saw this deal. $10 a month?! Whoa!!!

Just wish it had a headphone jack. So annoying they felt the need to imitate Apple's aloof attitude toward it's customers.

Guaranteed it's locked. This is why I purchased mine direct from Google 14 months ago

How much was that?

I can say, I am sure my Verizon Pixel 2xl is locked, but I don't have any annoying crap apps on my phone like I did on my last Verizon (S7). Why the hell did Verizon think I wanted an NFL app on my phone... that I couldn't uninstall?! Nothing dumb like that this time.

So then it's not just a payment plan....it's more like a subsidized plan.

Yeah, basically keeps you w them for two years paying for their services. They probably aren't making much of anything on this... But they've got us for another two years. I'll take it.
