This phone was a real step up for me in terms of price and I don’t really know what a lot of the features mean without a hands on test drive. But I do know what pixel phones are compatible with grapheneOS, so minimally if there weren’t any upgrades, I could at least have a privacy build. But I can tell you that it is faster, has a bigger screen, and has a waaaaay better camera than a moto, even though they are both rated at 50 megapixels, the telephoto lens is the winner. I have a 2nd son soon to be here and a quality camera, long battery life, and snappy messenger updates and connectivity are paramount. This phone so far is delivering the goods. I do have GrapheneOS installed too.
The battery life, though GSMarena and other phone comparison sites show the moto as the winner on battery life. I can tell you it is not. The Pixel definitely is. I woke up at 6pm with 100% charge. Got to work at 7:48pm with 99% charge. I used the phone for several hours messaging my wife, and spending time on car enthusiast websites attempting to diagnose a 4l60e transmission torque converter clutch engagement issue. Then I streamed 3 hours of new retrowave/synthwave while I worked. Then I moved on to write this review. It is 4:53am and I have 44% charge and have had the backlight on at 55% this whole time. When I leave work I will stream more music and possibly hear again from my wife on voice call. She goes to work as I am coming home. On average I close the day out on 28% charge. None of my moto phones could ever do that.

The box is secure with two white stickers on each side which is how the Google pixels are sold. When I took my phone out of the box it was in perfect mint condition and came with a USB c to USB cable. Beautiful and sexy design love the chrome detail on the camera.
Charger: I did have to purchase a charging block for it. The battery was not charged so I charged it and it quickly came to 100 %. Battery lasts like a good day and a half and probably would last longer if I didn’t use it so much.
*** Now it did have a att card in there (like reviews stated) but I found out that an unlocked att phone that’s brand new does look like that from att. ( Yes I physically called att to get to the bottom of this) The reps assured me that the seller has brand new unlocked att phones which are compatible with any carrier. Not dishonest seller like reviews had me assuming.
Activation: My bf called our service provider Metro and the transfer to my phone was very fast. Took him 10 minutes and my phone was up and running. After I turned on and off my new phone like 2 times the phone was active.
Functionality: I am very impressed with the speed of this phone. It’s fast! If you like playing games or are like me and do everything from your phone this phone is great! Internet surfing, and multitasking is a breeze. So many free apps from note taking, games, reading, shopping, financial and more.
Camera: This phone takes absolutely beautiful pictures. I even had no makeup and it looked decent not fuzzy or grainy or lack luster. When you tap the screen you can adjust contrast and brightness with out having to click edit separately. There are also really cool editing features I have not tried yet that look really cool.Still learning this phone and the many features I haven’t discovered.
There are a lot of cool features like you can circle something on the screen at any time and it looks it up. Phone calls are written in words on the screen for people who are hard of hearing during call. Very cool backgrounds during Google meet call very similar to face time features. I feel Google meet is a lot better than FaceTime (don’t come for me lol). I am a previous iPhone user and there are some features of this phone that are simply better.
Cost: This phone is a budget phone and still up to date with current updates and is a new phone. I refuse to spend a mortgage/rent payment on a phone. I just simply can’t bc these phone prices are just insane for getting a current year phone. This one is last year’s model + everything I wanted and more.
Display: phone is very bright and the display is beautiful. Brightness can be adjusted bc it is a very bright phone which is great. Colors are vivid and clear making photo experience and gaming more fun.
Sound: The sound is pretty loud. During calls I find myself lowering the volume. Whether you are using speaker phone or regular audio.
Google users: if you do everything on Google and love the Google platform it intensifies your enjoyment. Everything transfers over and all your pictures and routine bc a breeze!
I will update you all later on but at this point I couldn’t say more good things 😉 Just get it.
** I am taking time to address all the negative feedback that almost deterred me from buying an amazing phone. I had the phone for three weeks and will be back with updates. Get yourself an OtterBox or something like it bc this phone has glass backing and if your like me than order it the same time you get the phone.

Past 4 phones had been Motorola for the price to features but have been very disappointed in the quality and durability of those.
I generally keep my phone for about three years so the updates on this phone should be adequate for my needs. Battery life is good and the Ram/os and the storage memory is a huge upgrade for me. Enough that getting this phone for half of what the one year newer version cost, I can get a new phone sooner for less.
Screen is easy to read and operate. Data transfer was seamless with the included cable to attach with my old phone. Software is very intuitive if you’ve had a smartphone before. Has a quick learn program that lets you know now to manipulate the program usage and camera etc. Have a bunch of Google equipment so having extra quick chargers was a bonus too.
Phone does heat up quite a bit with use but my Motorola did the same thing. I would suggest not using it heavily while charging as that is what killed most of my Motorola phones (softened the charge port till it wouldn’t take a charge w/o manipulating the cable to connect)
