Unfortunately can be kinda risky, as a pixel that was originally purchased through a Verizon plan has a locked bootloader thst I’ve read Verizon doesn’t generally unlock even after they unlock the carrier restriction, making it impossible to install GrapheneOS on. For those that go the used route, make sure it was not a Verizon phone.
Remember kids, always buy Google Pixels (or any other good phone where you can swap AVB keys) and flash GrapheneOS/LineageOS on it.
This is purely bound to official Google Mobile Services and to the Play store. So the degoogled Android ROMs will help.
Keep an eye for motorola. As GrapheneOS partner with them for the next generation of GOS devices
Second-hand of course

Oh apologies, I’m not familiar with carrier locks so USians can disregard my advice :D
AFAIK Orange (the Slovak one) doesn’t do carrier locks. Also I saw the same with other EU operators.
In EU those were prehistoric times. Nowadays phones are unlocked.
