I also paid full price and bought it from an official store with no connection to any carriers. Installed grapheneos and can confirm it is still present, whether anyone can use it is not is irrelevant if your putting shit in my phone that could potentially harm me. And you seem to take some kind of weird moral ground thinking people who default on a payment can have their phone which is a necessity in this era, turn into a brick if they choose to. You're lucky you can afford to but be more empathetic to those who can't.
Nobody needs a pixel. There are plenty of phones far more inexpensive than pixels lol. I NEED A PIXEL TO LIVE!
Dude, he bought a full priced phone and the distributor preinstalled ransomeware on it.
If you think this is acceptable just say it: "Distributors reserve the right to install ransomeware on the devices they sell."
Just say that.
Who's taking about pixel mate? We are taking about android here. Not the hardware but the simple fact that a device I paid for has harmful shit I didn't ask for. Pixel or whatever, this shouldn't be installed on anything period
