I hope that my rooted One UI 7 doesn’t get the update through some backdoor in the Google Play Services package… Or the next time I unblock Google Play to update the very few paid apps that I use…

Just switch to Pixel. I’ve got mine (9a) for around 500€.

Ironically, Google Pixel

Pixels are the only phone with the hardware and security the GOS project requires. GOS is working with an OEM to get GOS on another brand of phone.

Yeah, I’ve had my eyes on a Pixel for a few months now. Maybe I could even keep my Samsung an compartmentalize shit: pixel for private use, Samsung for google shit

Is that a joke?

Unironically, the Google Pixel is ironically one of the best phones you can get to de-Google your smartphone experience. For now.

Specifically if you use GrapheneOS. Pretty easy to install, I’ve been on it for a couple months now and it’s great.
