So why do you have a Pixel?

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've loved clean Android since the Nexus 5 days, so the Pixel line was the natural place for me to end up. The cameras have been a nice bonus, and the call filtering alone would be enough to keep me in the Pixel camp.

They're just fluid and uncluttered, plus they can be tinkered with without voiding the warranty (unlike the Motorola I owned a while back). Helps that there's always great ROM support as well once they fall off of official support.

Same points here for me, but I had more emphasis on the camera which is why I went with my 6A.
