minus-squarevatlark@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up23·edit-223 days agoIt 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.
minus-squarechasteinsect@programming.devOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·23 days agoDepends who they go with. I for one would not be a fan of buying a Chinese phone but it will probably be Chinese.
minus-squarelambalicious@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·22 days agoYou mean Taiwanese, right? Chinese components, American components. All made in Taiwan!
minus-squareJustEnoughDucks@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up3·21 days agoWell Qualcomm chips are made in Taiwan. Most of the phones are actually made in China or India (PCBs and assembly) I believe.

minus-squarechasteinsect@programming.devOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·17 days agoFrom a privacy / security POV you’re probably right but I just don’t want to support Chinese companies right now, at least where possible.
