  • Any downsides to buying a used from privacy and security perspective?

Are there any downsides to buying a used pixel from an authorised reseller or marketplace that offers warranty?
I remember seeing a comment on reddit saying that if the EMEI is on watchlist then it obviously not great from privacy perspective.
Any thoughts?

I saw this discussed recently. You can try searching te forum.

Watch out for phones with a locked bootloader i.e. Verizon.
