We typically like Pixel phones a lot, but we have some reservations about Google's quality control

Unfortunately, the next Zenfone is looking to be quite a lot larger. I've been using Nexus and Pixel for years, and while my uses have always been rather simple, I've never had any serious issues aside from the LG bootloop on my Nexus 5x. Motorola phones get practically no updates, and unfortunately Xiaomi is a non-starter for those of us in the US.

That said, I've also been using Graphene, because I no longer tolerate the tracking and other productization of me. That's not just a Google thing, nor limited to their phones, but they're certainly one of the worst offenders. It's ironic that their own phones offer some of the most freedom to remove them from our lives.

Crap, that's sad to hear.
