Thanks for the feedback. Those Pixel phones are on the expensive side. Unlike most I'm not willing to drop big money on a phone. I was looking at the Motorola line-up after someone mentioned they use a fairly bloatware free installation of Android. Their phones are inexpensive.

Haven't looked into Graphene OS, seen it mentioned. When you say open source it usually means you have to dive into the nuts of bolts of things, not sure I want to do that. I should probably look into it more. Really don't have any positive feeling toward either Android or iOS, giant douche or turd sandwich as the old South Park episode goes.
