OTA updates are most likely going to work in most of the devices bought at our website and they should not change system sate ex. removing multi-language and google apps.

However, there are devices where OTA will not work, we usually inform about it on the product page, in the "ROM" section. If you'll not be able to make automatic updates, you may always try to make manual system update, which may require some skills or tools (ex. ADB) installed on your computer. It may also remove system customisations installed before ex. multi-language support. For more info you may ask us a question from product page.

NFC will most likely work on the most of the devices bought on our website. 

Exception are some, but not all, devices sold with unlocked bootloader, due to Global rom installation ex. Xiaomi. Some other devices with Global rom installed on original rom, and unlocked bootloader shouldn't have problems with NFC payments - ex. Realme devices. Root can also cause NFC banking applications not work, but our store in current time don't sell rooted devices at all (state for January 2024).

If you have doubts if your device will have NFC payments working you should ask us every time by product questions available at product page or checks questions of the other customers at the bottom of the product page.

1Screen has rounded corners. When measured diagonally as a rectangle, the screen is 6.1 inches. Actual viewable area is less. Dimension may vary by configuration and manufacturing process.
2Not available for all apps or content.
3HDR brightness measured at 100% on-pixel ratio. Peak brightness measured at 5% on-pixel ratio.
4Dimensions and weight vary by configuration and manufacturing process.
5For 'over 24 hours': Estimated battery life based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby and use of other features. Average battery life during testing was at least 31 hours. For 'Up to 72 hours': Estimated battery life based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby and use of limited other features that are default in Extreme Battery Saver mode (which disables various features including 5G connectivity). For both claims: Battery testing conducted on a major US operator network in California in late 2023 on pre-production hardware and software using default settings, except that, for the 'up to 72 hours' claim only, Extreme Battery Saver mode was enabled. Tests began with phones fully charged. Battery life depends upon many factors and usage of certain features will decrease battery life. Actual battery life may be lower.
6Estimate of typical capacity based upon testing and expected mobile behaviour.
7Up to 18 watts (wired charging). Based upon use of the Google 30 W USB-C® Charger plugged into a wall outlet. Actual results may be slower. Adapters sold separately.
8Storage specifications refer to capacity before formatting. Actual formatted capacity will be less.

19Designed to comply with dust and water protection rating IP67 under IEC standard 60529 when each device leaves the factory but device is not waterproof or dustproof. The accessories are not water- or dust-resistant. Water and dust resistance are not permanent conditions; they diminish or are lost over time due to normal wear and tear, device repair, disassembly or damage. Dropping your device may result in loss of dust or water resistance. Liquid damage voids the warranty. For more information, see g.co/pixel/water.
