I hope that my rooted One UI 7 doesn't get the update through some backdoor in the Google Play Services package... Or the next time I unblock Google Play to update the very few paid apps that I use...

Pixels are the only phone with the hardware and security the GOS project requires. GOS is working with an OEM to get GOS on another brand of phone.

Yeah, I've had my eyes on a Pixel for a few months now. Maybe I could even keep my Samsung an compartmentalize shit: pixel for private use, Samsung for google shit

Unironically, the Google Pixel is ironically one of the best phones you can get to de-Google your smartphone experience. For now.

Clown world. They're one update away from banning that any second you're putting too much trust in them

Specifically if you use GrapheneOS. Pretty easy to install, I've been on it for a couple months now and it's great.
