Pixels bought from Google are rootable, come with unlockable bootloaders

Yes, Pixel owners who purchased the device from the Google store will be able to root their devices. Pixel phones purchased from the Google store will ship with an unlockable bootloader.

Rooting involves modifying partitions on the phone. If the partitions are modified the OTA will fail to apply.

There were also news somedays back that Pixel phones would support dual boot,if it's true then their price might be justified otherwise they are not value for money phones atleast in India

Over priced phones surely. Thats what i feel. Only advantage is timely OS updates.

For how much time? 2 years? Or 10 years like Windows?

Definitely overpriced.. Google is trying to walk the Apple way, but i don't think they will succeed. One thing happened in favour of Google, that Samsung Note 7 failed and Google is banking on that too. Note 7 is being returned and as per survey, around 30 to 40% samsung and not willing to buy samsung again.

 

[Sarkar]

I think those surveys are funded by competitors to defame Samsung as in history lots of companies has recalled batteries, Samsung isn't the first and will not be the last company in doing so.

Ya.. Agree on that bro. Many competitors could have done it. And mostly Apple and Google would be eager to do that.
