Reddit user buys Pixel 2…but discovers it has no software

Upon booting up a brand new Pixel 2 received in the mail, a dismayed Reddit user says the phone arrived with no operating system installed. 

Google confirmed with Mashable that this event did, in fact, occur, and a solution has been reached.

As shown in the image below, upon unboxing the device, the brand new Pixel 2 informed Reddit user MAKES_PEOPLE_MAD that it couldn’t “find valid operating system.” Under normal circumstances, every Pixel is installed with Google’s globally pervasive Android mobile operating system.
