23Sha-ger pixels are still expensive and overpriced. They are close to be affordable only when the next series is ready for sale or few months before it.
I buy pixels only because they are the only secure phones running android.
If pixels did not have the only real secure hardware on market and did not allow custom oses then I would probably buy something like oneplus.
You have to lose a kidney if you want more than 128 GO on a google pixel. Tensor chip is like 10 years late.
