Google handsets are locked by the carrier that sold them or by a code derived from the IMEI. This page lists the 88 models our device register recognises, explains how Google locks a handset, and links the checks and unlocks that apply to it.
Pixel handsets are locked by the carrier that sold them, not by Google. A Pixel bought from the Google Store is already unlocked; one sold by Verizon, AT&T or a carrier in another country carries that operator's activation policy.
The practical consequence is the same for every family: the phone works, and it refuses to activate on a SIM from another network until the record against the IMEI changes. Wi-Fi keeps working, so the device looks healthy right up to the moment the new SIM goes in.
