What's wrong with pixel phones? This new pixel 4a is pretty amazing especially for the price. You refuse to buy google but google created android? lol
Well it is debatable if they did i would say they where part of it but i wouldnt go as far as say they created it.
As for using android i dont have much of a choice i dont like google and sure as hell dont like apple what other choice is there with this damn duopoly ?
There are possible choices but theres no development for those by developers on this site forexample.
