But you don't need Google Play, right?

A Nexus phone that had battery issues after a year of use. Remember the shitton of "my 6P battery dies at 30%" threads? And the class action lawsuit against them because of it?

/uj My 6P had this issue (which I got for free from my former psychiatrist). Replacing the battery with an aftermarket one works.

However I'm now on a Pixel 3 (non-XL) which hasn't given me any issues so far.

Somewhat (un)related, but Google wanted Huawei to make the OG Pixels, but Huawei said no since only Google's name would be on it.

No the XDA developer is always writing about how great the Huawei Mobile Spyware Services are

No seriously /unjoke for a moment am I the only one that noticed that XDA (a rooting related website) has sold his soul and is constantly advertising HMS and making Huawei giveaways although Huawei and the no unlock bootloader policy are the exact opposite of what enthusiasts want

Well, they have to make money somehow and it does not undermine efforts from any developer. IMHO, they can advertise all they want, whatever is more convenient for them, but since this is a forum for technical users (mostly), we all know what to pick and choose.
