      I wouldn’t gasp in surprise if both Sony and Google have similar shady deals. Apple seems to.

      Google is evil, although Pixels seem to be tolerable, especially for custom ROMs, ironically.

      Sony phones are good but expensive.

        At least with Google’s Pixel phones you can flash your own OS like Graphene and totally de-Google it. I just hate that they don’t support SD cards, that’s absolute bullshit/greed on Google’s part. Same with Apple.

          The reasons for this are actually somewhat sound once you realize how fucking shit SD Cards actually are. They break/corrupt frequently and for no reason and it creates a ton of Customer Service hassle to tell people their photos are gone when they inevitably die.
