Not bad sounding.
I do like the idea of a more locked down android OS TBH.
One of the main things that has kept me on my iPhone is the finer grained permission control.
Yes Apple is still mining some data from me, but not much, and I can lock out other apps from phoning home easily enough.

I am crazy...I like Google and Amazon...they can have my data...Never been concerned and frankly I am old enough and live a boring enough life that they can track me all they want...Golf course-Home....Home-Costco...Rinse repeat.

Also have a couple thousand shares of both of these Co.. so I want them to make money.

My Pixel has a headphone jack...Its called a USB-C...lol. Headphones sound better with it...Yet doesn't everyone use BT earbuds at this point? Never had a need for an SD card in a phone...Everything for me is stored in the cloud.
