Where to buy Google Pixel XL in New York

[jochr]

Hi,

Going to New York next week, and was wondering if anyone knows where to buy an _unlocked_ Google Pixel XL in New York?
Looks like Best Buy only sells the Pixel with subscription. Since I don't live in the US that is not an option.

Thanks

Be aware that the radio bands are different between the US version and the international version.

Hi,

Yes I'm aware of the differences in the radio band. But I have done some research and it does not seem to be an big issue here in Norway.

You can purchase from Best Buy without a contract. Be aware that the bootloader is unlockable if it's on 7.1.1.
And if you can find one in stock.

I'm in the same situation

Hi Jo Christian,

I'm in the same situation, I'll be for one week in NYC and I'd like to buy a Google Pixel XL 128GB, but I'm worried to don't find this device on the city when I arrive. Do you reached a solution?

Thanks

You will not find the Google version in any stores. The Verizon version will be at the Verizon stores and Best Buy. They will most probably be bootloader locked.

What do you mean with bootloader locked? What's it stop me to do?

It stops you from rooting it and flashing custom ROMs and mods.
