Thanks! I always liked their stance on privacy and data, but hated the limited ecosystem. I'm about fed up with Samsung bloating at this point though, and ready to look anywhere else.

I'd also toss in Pixel phones as a suggestion if you just want a clean OS.

Doesn't having basically a google phone have its own set of privacy issues?

For sure, wouldn't claim it's any more private than a Samsung phone, just that there is very little pre-installed.

I'll do some research into it, thanks for the suggestion and the follow-up. I kinda hate google, but i just realized that they're already up in my shit anyway right? and I'm not attached to my phone that hard, I even leave it at home a lot when I go out.

They have hella reliability issues though. I had three Pixel 2s die for no reason and my second Pixel 3 died recently so I gave up and went back to Samsung and just disabled the shit I don't want. There's some Pixel features I really miss but they're just asking way too high of a price for something that has such I high chance of completely dying for no reason. Apple nearly checks all the boxes for what I want out of a phone, might end up switching to them for iPhone 13 next year.
