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.

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.
