Only 2 downsides to pixel:

  1. Stock Rom
  2. No display out from USBC

All other issues are solved with GOS.

I haven't used a 3.5mm jack in close to a decade, so it's a non-issue for me, but I get your point.

They were eligible for a brand new phone after 24 months if they recontracted for another 24 months. If they decided to unsubscribe during months 25-48, they'd be on the hook for the remaining cost of the phone. I mention this because at least for where I am, this is the default position - this decision would just mean the user needs to get their brand new phone on a contractual repayment from a provider other than Google.

Don't this mess with consumer laws ? People who had paid for this should definitely sue.
