Pixel Bought from Google: Shipped with Unlockable bootloaders

For the users who are willing to install & use third party OS, rooting & unlockable bootloaders are the essential things to have. If they even want custom ROMs then also the same will be required. The report says that completely locked down bootloader on Verizon’s version of Google Pixel is already confirmed as quoted by the spokesperson from Google.

Another important thing to be kept in mind if rooting is the priority of the user & they are willing to install customized versions of Android will be that the place where they are buying it from. As Google already hinted that only the phones bought from Google store will be benefited.
