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.

You mean Taiwanese, right?

Chinese components, American components. All made in Taiwan!

Well Qualcomm chips are made in Taiwan. Most of the phones are actually made in China or India (PCBs and assembly) I believe.
