Oddly enough, Google Pixels are easy to unlock the bootloader, provided you didnt get the verizon version.

Dont get me wrong, im not accusing Pixels of being "quality". In my experience, they're not quite as good as a free phone from a MetroPCS store.

I was with you on "easy to unlock", but the "not quite as good as a free phone from a MetroPCS store" is just a laughable, probably troll take.

It's not a troll take. My old shit Alcatel still works. Every pixel I've had has needed repairs.

As for calling me a troll, fuck right off, asshole.
