I just got a mint condition Pixel 2 64GB on ebay for £400 GBP. Going to see how its 2700mAh battery performs against my OnePlus 3T's 3400mAh. Initial thoughts though, I really like the size and weight of it.

I haven't set it up properly yet, but booted it up and it installed two security updates, but I didn't notice the unlocked bootloader warning until after the first security update restart.

From what I can tell, everything is stock, otherwise I don't think it would have received these OTA security updates, and I just need to lock the bootloader via ADB, which I must do, as I have no interest in rooting and I want all apps to work, such as Google Pay. Hopefully it's an easy process, otherwise I've got 14 days to return it, as the unlocked bootloader was not mentioned in the listing and I'm not familiar with using ADB. Glad I've still got my Windows 7 netbook.
