So why do you have a Pixel? (lemmy.ml)

Since there's no self posts here yet, I thought I'd bring up a question for those that decided to settle into Lemmy. Welcome to those here so far!

There's a ton of reasons to choose the a Pixel, but what's one or two major points that keep you hooked?

For me, I'm in love with the speed of the UI, and of course the ability to sideload apps if I want. Being in control of a device you spend a lot of money on makes a lot of sense.

I literally bought it just to install GrapheneOS because I was tired of Apple's ecosystem. I have no idea what the experience on a stock Pixel is like.

I have no love for Google either, but at least they give me freedom over my phone OS and the Graphene team offers security updates for five years from release. Not as long a support window as Apple, but the experience on Graphene is better. This is mainly due to having sandboxed Google Play and Fdroid access.
