    Ahh - I think I see what you’re getting at.

    I think the Pixel allows unlocking the bootloader, so it’s just the carrier in the way.

    Most phones have to be hacked to unlock the bootloader because of the manufacturer locking it, so the carrier doesn’t really matter since you’re having to bypass locks anyway.
