Just started here on lemmy, taking a look around and what’s here. I don’t see this area is used - at least recently. However, I do love Google Pixel. I have both a 7 Pro (Stock OS) and 7a with GraphineOS.
The main thing that got me to switch to Pixel from an iPhone 13 Pro Max was the hardware and software like 12GB ram on 7 Pro, the processor for mobile gaming, the call screening on all pixel devices, call hold etc. Super useful!
I’m interested in rooting lately. But I got used to the locked bootloader and the FRP (Factory Reset Protection) in case my phone is stolen.
So basically if somebody stole my phone and I have a custom ROM, there is no FRP and the phone can be used by a non legit owner, right?
The main reason I would root is WhatsApp. I’d install some app like Blocker to see if I can disable some services or minimize wake locks.
