Only non-carrier-locked Google Pixel phones. They have been talking about potential partnership with other OEM but it’s not easy with Google ToS for Android OEM manufacturer to support other OS officially. Also they have paranoid-level security model and beside a few company like Google, Apple and maybe Samsung few devices would meet their requierments… And you know, Samsung introduced Knox to prevent their users to flash other firmware or mod their hardware and the other one, Apple, is the company that killed the FOSS Cydia Store…
Phone carriers don’t want people “churning” (leaving their network for another) so they enforce the phone’s locking, especially if you buy the phone from the cell carrier, as they often advertise free phone or cheap phone on a payment plan, and use that to enforce people staying on their network.
