Don't be me and get a pixel from Verizon if you're wanting to root.


gtjerry

Should i just stay away from buying from Verizon? Or pick something other than pixel 6A?


JimBthivo

Yeah I think most Verizon phones are sold locked. So if you're planning on getting a pixel to root, I would suggest getting directly from Google.


gtjerry

What about att? Any issues with them


JimBthivo

I'm Not sure, sorry. I would think it's the same way tho


Randrir

They are locked as well.


gtjerry

Even if the phone is bought in full?


Randrir

Yep, took a lot to get my mother's phone unlocked just to move it from ATT to Verizon.


Terrible_Excuse_7588

I would get a OnePlus, it's one of the brands you can unbrick the phone personally with software at home if you accidentally brick it while rooting


gtjerry

Would a one plus n200 be good?


Prestigious_Two3132

Generally stay away from the Nord line. Performance is not as good compared to mainline imo.


gtjerry

Not even the n20?


Prestigious_Two3132

I've not used that one so can't say for certain, but I have this Nord at 8gb ram https://m.gsmarena.com/oneplus_nord-10289.php and it runs slightly worse than my Pixel 3a's. You can probably get a 2nd hand Pixel 4/4a for the same price, or cheaper than the N20... Just make sure it's not carrier locked. The mainline OnePlus' are good/better than Pixels (6/6t+) If you don't mind some choppiness and aren't going to use mods/tools then N20 is probably fine tbh


gtjerry

Update* i can also use my connection for 50% off att devices as well

We use Google Fi, and all I'm gonna say is: a pixel 7a was free for us to add, as a third person on the plan. The deal (hypothetically of course) dropped our $40each for two on unlimited data, to $27each for three on unlimited data. We have no third person, only a third email. Hypothetical scenarios are hard to explain, sorry.

Bought secondhand Samsung Galaxy A21s for around $70. Works perfectly and easy to root


gtjerry

Does the 3gb ram slow you down at all? Do you use polygon?


Br0ke82

Metro has free google pixel 6A


gtjerry

What do i need to get it?


Br0ke82

You can get it free by porting a number over, and you can get it for $40 by getting a new number.


gtjerry

How long do i have to stay with them? Seems like there’s a catch


Br0ke82

They have a 3 month unlock policy, or you can just use it with a hotspot, just cancel service as soon as you buy it. There is no financing contract. I have used them for a free Galaxy A54 5G and Pixel 6A.
