On the software side, they seem to be equally good from a technical standpoint: they let you live outside of google, be root etc.
I'm less a fan of the google pixel hardware: eInk devices provides a different experience.
In the "usual" (Google, Samsung...) western brands, there are no good eink pocket (cellphone sized or less, like the inkpalm or hisense) or normal sized eink tablet (>8" screen) alternatives, especially if you want color.
The kindles are more like phablets, and have lots of software limitations.
I have a color eink tablet with a 10" screen. Outside of Chinese companies, there isn't anything available. If there was such a google pixel device and I could reflash it and mod it as easily as Chinese devices and without limitations, I would consider it.
