Done for one reason only, to attempt to stop Youtube Revanced. I seriously can't imagine how much time and money Google has wasted failing repeatedly to do anything to stop it. Surely it would be easier and cheaper to just pay the devlopers $50 million each to abandon the project?

I decided to go a pixel for my mobile last time around. This has been my most disappointing android experience ever on a mobile.

Is there only Android and Apple? Seriously this phone sucks ass.

Should have paid the premium and went Samsung. The top range Oppo I had was ten times better than this junk.
