Depends on your angle. The Pixel is a good phone and the OS works well, but it is a Google device. A growing minority wants to avoid investing in US big corp, or in anything US related in general given the current political situation.

I’m definitely one of those people but there just aren’t that many alternatives. Like I said, I did consider Fairphone, but there were so many cons to their devices that it’s just not a reasonable choice for me personally. Which is unfortunate.
If I had to change phones now, I’d get a second-hand/refurbished Pixel and wait until the motorola devices take on. Fairphone is nice but lacks in security. The high price is only because of the “fair” small-scale production, the specs are quite mid for the price. I say this as a fp owner, I’m happy but if I had to choose again I’d go about it differently.
