So I fell for the classic blunder and ended up with a pixel that’s not OEM unlocked despite being advertised as such. After a few hours of searching it looks like the only way I’m getting an OEM unlocked pixel is full price from Google itself. I don’t have $400 for a new phone, I bought the one I have for $150 in 2019.

Are there any cheaper ways to get control of my phone?

      :/ HM that sucks. You could go with a phone with lineage OS support, not as secure but at least without bloatware from what I understand.

      Or save and try to snipe a good deal on some marketplace

        I wish I had the time, but after nearly 8 years my charging port is finally giving up. It doesn’t do data transfer anymore and I don’t know how many more times I can plug it in before it stops charging all together.
