Hi guys. I just bought pixel XL 128gb version for under 150$.
Ok here's what my experience about the phone
Screen
Still good 1440p resolution amoled bright and sharp nothing bad happen yet
Battery
Ok this is no good. Only last about 3.30 hrs screen on time with 1 day of usage. This i will change the battery if i was you but since im still under warranty so I'll wait first and stick with power bank.
Camera
Still pixel XL camera. 2016 best camera don't compare with pixel 2 and above pls. The camera is so good but it still has camera flare happen when you use the camera. How to prevent it, just use your hand and put on top of your phone serve as an umbrella to block the direct light that cause camera flare.
Speaker
Work fine and quite loud for single speaker clear voice, i don't know why youtuber said speaker are the worst. Maybe after software update.
Cons
Camera flare
Battery life
Fingerprint sensor: sometime it bugged and can't register or scan if this happen to you just register only 1 finger max this help me

cocomoumo, 10 Jul 2019Worth this phone in 2019 if second hand device?thing to wor... moreIt's a big worth for device now under 150$ for secondhand. But, I recommend you to wait until Pixel 4 release and instead buy the Pixel 2 XL. Anyways, the support for Google Photos is going to expire in less than half year.

Hello, I'm from the US. I've purchased multiple original Pixel devices for friends and family. I think this phone is great to use in 2019. You can pickup this phone on ebay used for around $100 for the 128GB. For those who purchase used phones, do yourself a favor and purchase a new battery and take it to a local repair shop for them to replace. Ensure that the battery you purchase is a newly manufactured battery (the manufactured date is on the battery). Slap on a case and you're good to go!
This phone will get Android Q as it's last software update.
Lastly, the camera on here DOES support portrait mode, but you have to sideload it. I recommend Googling Arnova's Advanced to bring up a Google Camera Port developer page. Arnova is a developer who tweaks the Google camera software to unlock certain features. Download the latest version of the app (look for the one with the most current date). This camera app will have portrait mode and other software enhancements that the developers have been able unlock on the Pixel.
Ultimately, you can get a really good phone for a cheap price and enhance it with minor modifications. For people in developing/emerging market countries, this is a much better buy than getting an LG/BLU/Samsung phone. It's much more affordable and you'll get good value for what you're buying.

fuadhasan4057, 29 Mar 2019Does this phone have a portrait mode in the camera function... moreYes, it has all the same photo software as Pixel 2 and maybe later versions. I have the Pixel XL and it has been great. Latest updates to my phone give "night sight". It also has everything you would expect on a high end smartphone such as panorama and photo sphere. The camera is great and my GF bought an $800 camera and is annoyed that my photos are usually better.
