Only silver lining to this is they run a lot of discounts and promotions on them, and it's possible to buy them at a significant discount. Got my first Pixel 10 on a very cheap contract with trade-in promos on top, and got a second Pixel 10 at a 70% discount from the RRP.
- mvdtnz 4mo agoIt's not possible to buy them at all where I live, even if I wanted to funnel money to Google - which I do not. I have gone to great lengths to de-Google my life.
- boldlybold 4mo agoEbay? A friend to ship it? I agree on the de-google part but putting graphene on a used pixel is aligned!
- drnick1 4mo agoAbsolutely, and it is irrational to refuse to buy hardware from Google (which, with Graphene, is under your control) when the alternative is to either run a Google OS on a third party phone (and give up control of the software), or Apple (equally bad), or some impractical and less secure alternative like a Linux phone incompatible with Android apps.
- preisschild 4mo agoAgreed. I dislike most of Google's products, but their Pixels have secure hardware and are very open (compared to other modern smartphones). In short - a good product for people wanting to run free software on modern-ish smartphones. If a product is good, why not buy it?
- drnick1 4mo agoSoon, there will be compatible Motorola phones.
- microtonal 4mo agoWatch out in the US though, apparently some carriers disable OEM Unlocking (so you cannot unlock your bootloader).
