Q: Is OEM unlocking disabled on this device? Note that OEM unlocking has to do with to a locked bootloader, and is different from carrier locking/unlocking. If you can't install your own operating system, then it's not your phone.

A: I'm running GrapheneOS on mine no problem. So yeah, you can unlock it. Not sure what OS you wanna run but Graphene has instructions which make it quick and easy. Now, transferring everything over from your own phone, I haven't solved the best way to do that.

Q: Does this unit include the charging cable and power adapter?

A: Only charging cable present. There is no power adapter.

Q: Carrier compatibility shows AT&T, Verizon, Google Fi only. Will this phone not work with T-Mobile?

A: Hi Abhi, The Google Pixel 8 256GB (Unlocked) - Hazel is compatible with all major US carriers, including T-Mobile. I hope this info helps!

Q: will this connect to spectrum network

A: Spectrum uses the Verizon network, so yes it will work on Spectrum.

Q: Is there a way to expand the storage(add a sim card)?

Q: Is this phone unlocked for Colombia, specifically for the telephone operator CLARO? Will this phone work in Colombia? The information shown in the webpage says that the phone is unlocked, but it is not clear whether it is globally unlocked or only in USA

A: I recently bought one and works perfectly in Colombia at least with Movistar both for SIM and an eSIM (4G/LTE). I read that 5G is blocked in Pixel phones at software level in countries it's not officially sold in but there are no 5G networks currently in operation in Colombia.
