It always seemed odd to me that you needed a pixel. I know it's for reasons but google is an anti-privacy company at it's core.

If they can break away from Google I will buy one next.

Depends who they go with. I for one would not be a fan of buying a Chinese phone but it will probably be Chinese.

You mean Taiwanese, right?

Chinese components, American components. All made in Taiwan!

Well Qualcomm chips are made in Taiwan. Most of the phones are actually made in China or India (PCBs and assembly) I believe.

I mean does it really matter if they offer all the hardware security features and it's running with GrapheneOS, which is FOSS

There's nothing inherently less secure about a device just because it's Chinese lol

From a privacy / security POV you're probably right but I just don't want to support Chinese companies right now, at least where possible.
