[FRIAM] Android phones

[Mark Suazo]

A Google Pixel (I have the 3 XL) will give you the most "untainted by
bloatware" version of Android - plus regular updates. Can't speak to
rooting it. I continue to be impressed by the camera - it's flat out
amazing.

But no removable memory (automagically uploads to your google account
online) and there are times I wish it was better as an actual phone -
mostly what I want to call someone.
