Nick @ The Linux ExperimentAfter years of being an #Samsung user (with a few months of using an #iPhone11 in between that I didn't enjoy), I'm quitting #Android.
Here are the main reasons why it just doesn't work for me anymore, whatever the model, or the ROM it runs:
FarisZRI Agree with this video about the state of Mainstream Phones.
It's either Spyware or jail-spyware with privacy marketing, and Apple is adding ADs everywhere too!, enjoy it while it lasts!
I bit the bullet and bought a Pixel, with Grapehene you get the best experience with privacy, i personally didn't have that many problems, IMO you should've given it a go at least,
the Pixel 7 is considered to be the first mainstream-able Pixel, so there is that.
Even though you hate the design(which i absolutely don't agree with), you are probably getting less trade-offs with a Pixel + GrapheneOS than an iPhone.
Also the US has the same laws as China, and with any phone other than a stock pixel, you get Google spyware + manufacture spyware.
