In this guide, we will show you the steps to spoof your Android device to Pixel [or any other of your choice]. There could be quite a few reasons why you might want to carry out this task. For starters, there are a few apps that are restricted by the OEM to run only on their devices. Likewise, devices from Pixel behold a slew of intriguing goodies that are Pixel exclusives [a lot of nifty camera features fall in this category].
As far as my reasoning for the same is concerned, I have spoofed my OnePlus 7T to the Pixel 1 as that is the only Pixel that still offers free unlimited Google Photos storage in original quality. Well, this list could go and on, let’s keep that aside, and focus on the steps to spoof your Android device to Pixel, or any other device, for that matter.
