I visited 3 stores looking for the pixels 7a. One of these stores (best buy) sells it at a 20% discount for only 2 weeks, brand new, 128 GB, so I may go for it to buy and nuke to install graphene OS, then relock it.

A poster suggested me to avoid verizon, because they lock the bootloader to prevent you installing anything else.

This one seems to be a pixels directly from google: on a table displaying other google devices and earbuds, but I wouldn’t want to buy something I cannot relock on non-stock software.

ETA: what port does it use for charging?

    I got my Pixel 8 Pro from Best Buy and it’s unlocked. The other pixels come unlocked too, since they just get them from Google. I’ve been using Verizon as my carrier without any issue.
