  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.
