    As a current pixel phone user, I’ll never buy a Pixel device or any Google hardware again. Cost to performance ratio is not good in this phone. The chip heats if i try to watch a 140p YouTube video on the phone. The modem is really bad for voice and data. Shows low network signal always. Same sim if i put in another device with a snapdragon processor, that device shows almost full signal. Opened a complaint on Google support and they basically told me to talk to the cell operator. Like a cell operator will change settings for one customer. ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ Zero support from Google and they won’t even acknowledge that their modems are bad. As long as Google uses this Tensor chip I won’t go back to it. This is my first bad experience with a phone manufacturer. So, yup, never will buy any Google hardware again.

      I got my 6a for $150 and got some decent bt earbuds. I will exclusively stick to Pixels, for the main reason of them being supported by custom Roms the best. I will never go back to Stock or any other proprietary bloat os.

        Yeah, for like GrapheneOS and Calyx OS there’s not a lot of options to turn to.
