Joe, Google Project Fi does some network switching at the radio level so the phones must be built that way - as Google phones are. I don't know of any other manufacturer that work with Fi. On the other hand, Google does provide 0% financing. If you are thinking about getting a Pixel phone, you are just about to see a new product announcement. Also, a Google phone would have less problems with upgrades - as in you would get them directly from Google. Android Nougat has greatly improved the management of notices - useful and easy to customize.
