kratoz29@lemm.ee 2 days agoWhy is this a Google Pixel only ROM? Anything special with the Google Pixel?
I even consider Chinese phones a better hardware dela than what Google does, and I know Google software (I mainly use AOSP ROMs, Pixel OS in this case) but if we are swapping right away the ROM of the Pixel and the hardware is subpar what’s the deal with it?

Pixel phones have an extra security chip in them called the Titan. Other manufacturers lack this.
