Description
Google Pixel XL 128 GB Black, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
Factory Refurbished Google Pixel XL in Black with 128GB of storage, 4G LTE, GSM Unlocked, reconditioned to close-to-new working order. The 128GB tier was the lower-volume configuration at retail, so marketplace sellers and export buyers who price storage tiers separately take it over the 32GB base, and black is the color that sells without a conversation.
The Pixel XL is Google's first own-brand flagship from 2016: a 5.5-inch 2560 x 1440 AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 821 with 4 GB of RAM, 32 GB or 128 GB of storage, a 12.3 MP camera that led the DxOMark rankings at launch, an 8 MP front camera, a rear fingerprint reader, a 3,450 mAh battery with USB-C fast charging, and a clean build of Android with the Google Assistant. It shipped on Android 7.1 and received updates through Android 10.
Dealers buy the Pixel XL from TG Wireless as a factory refurbished unlocked Android for prepaid and MVNO activations, for buyers who want stock Android at a used-flagship price, and for export, where the Google name and unlocked radio travel well.

Condition: Factory Refurbished
Factory refurbished units have been reconditioned to close-to-new working order. They are not brand new and may show light signs of handling. TG tests and grades each unit before it ships. Tell your account manager whether you need units with the original box and accessories or handset-only packs; the mix varies by lot.
Network and compatibility
The Pixel XL is a 4G LTE phone with VoLTE, so it is unaffected by the US 2G and 3G retirements, and the unlocked model carries both GSM and CDMA radios, so it can register on Verizon as well as AT&T and T-Mobile where the carrier still accepts the model; confirm acceptance for VoLTE before activating in volume, as several carriers have begun retiring 2016 devices from their whitelists. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. It takes a nano-SIM. Its LTE band set is broad enough for most export markets.
Resale fit
- Prepaid and MVNO dealers who want an unlocked stock-Android phone with a strong camera at a used-flagship price.
- Marketplace resale of factory refurbished Pixels to buyers who prefer Google software without carrier apps.
- Export to markets where the Google brand and unlocked GSM/CDMA radio command a premium.
- Developers and testers who need a reference Android device.
