As long as you buy unlocked straight from Google it’s pure android with no bloat. Easy as can be to unlock the bootloader and root. I don’t see myself going back after have a pixel for my last four phones. I wish the custom rom scene was as popular as it used to be. But even still with pure android and AdAway and maybe a couple other magisk plugins I’m very happy.
I’m looking for a new phone and was eyeing off the pixel, is there no bloatware at all on it??
As long as you buy it unlocked, yes, I’m not sure about buying it from a carrier
Yeah sweet I always get unlocked. I guess pixel it is

Pixels run stock Android. If you want a truly minimalist phone that’s not just secure, but private (de-Googled), look into GrapheneOS.
I bought one unlocked, and unless you consider Google apps bloat, there is nothing on there. Its so clean.
I have had several pixels now and they are amazing, no bloat at all if you buy unlocked.
