  GOS still not for everyone. Stop shilling.

    So because it’s not literally for everyone, nobody can share an opinion about it?

    Weird take.

    So just because my car has the ability to tow a trailer it is bad? The pixel gives everyone that wants to the possibility to install a custom ROM, which is great because not every phone allows this.

      Yeah that’s what has put me off getting a new Samsung phone as a free upgrade even though they have better specs. They all have the stupid Snapdragon processors.

        I think next year will be the time when I buy a new phone too and I’m also looking to get a pixel. I will devinetively not buy a new one but maybe a refurbished one.

        Snapdragons are decent for custom roms, the problem is samsung blocking bl-unlock on US SDM phones.

  I’ll always be distrustful of Google hardware, but yes. I’ve been considering a Pixel as my next.
