If a person sells a Google Pixel phone, he might lose his Google account along with photos and other online services. Yes, you heard that right.
Google indicated that whoever sells the new version of the smartphone will have to suffer difficulties, as far as using the brand's services is concerned. Normally, when people sign a contract and agree to the terms and conditions of a particular company, they do not take those clauses seriously. But, Google Pixel is different, according to Yahoo News.
