Shit. All google needs to do is F GOS and game over for pixel phones and GOS. GOS really needs a backup manufacturer that maybe can achieve GOS goals.
I always found it weird that the OS that attempts to limit the impact of Google's severe privacy issues mostly only runs on hardware by Google.
As soon as Google wants to, you kind of just lose.
The Pixels (and the Nexus before them) are very hackable compared to most other phones. They're a good platform for this sort of thing, and why not use it? If you have alternatives, get portin'.
Their modems are crap. The primary function of a phone is to access cellular signal. No thanks.
