The SoC appears to be a 7% CPU/GPU perf bump according to Qualcomm. No info on North American compatibility yet.

I think i've heard graphene-heads say the Pixels have some specific hardware features that make them more secure and is the reason graphene only works on them. Still i'm not gonna give google any money, i'd rather vote with my wallet and get an FP next

    if you want graphene but want to avoid giving google money you could always just buy a used phone on the second hand market

    Arguably you're still giving google money, by funding the next google phone for the person who previously bought a google phone :P

    Though I'd imagine buying a used phone is still a better choice than buying a new one, even if it's theoretically funding a better company.

    Buying a Google phone and then removing all the Google stuff actually costs Google money.

    I wouldn't be surprised if this were the case, but is there a source for this?

    I don't have a source (and am not who you replied to), but it could be that Google sells Pixels at a slight loss in an effort to get more people on the platform. Maybe not loss, in the traditional sense, but more so in that they build getting people into the Google ecosystem into the price.

    For sure, and that's where I thought they were going with it. But unless there is a source for how much it cost google to have the phone made, and how much they're expecting to make back with users in their ecosystem, it's just guess work.

    I'd probably get a pixel for my next phone if this were the case, but I'd want to be sure.
