In Catalonia, Spain, police associate Google Pixel phones with organized crime, especially drug dealers. Criminals prefer Pixels because they support GrapheneOS – a privacy-focused operating system with strong encryption. Although GrapheneOS can run on other Android phones, it works best on Pixels due to their advanced security hardware and long update support. Some criminals even remove cameras, GPS, and microphones for extra stealth. While Google didn’t intend this, Pixel’s security features have made them a top choice for the wrong crowd.
