  • Pixel phones are apparently the phone of choice for criminals, drug dealers, and gang members in Spain’s Catalonia.
  • Police say every time they spot someone with a Pixel, they think they must be a drug dealer.
  • The popularity of Pixels among the wrong crowd has little to do with Google phones and everything to do with Android’s open nature.
