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?

    I’m already returning this one, l was just hoping to find something I could set up that wouldn’t cost most of a check to get my hands on

      almost any phone that can have its bootloader unlocked has lineage available. to make sure it’s well supported, try to find one from their officially supported list.

      a lot of cheap motorolas or xiaomis in there.

      or an older pixel, might be cheaper and still supported by graphene.
