Hi All,
Noob here. I've never used G.OS before but have been thinking about buying a Pixel phone and using it for a while now.
I was thinking about buying a 7 or 7 pro, but I decided to wait it out for the 8 / 8 Pro. Now that time is here, I watched the Madebygoogle event today. All this talk about AI, machine learning, sending videos and other data to google servers for processing, overall made me nervous and I'm now not sure if I should take the plunge.
If I buy a pixel 8 (I prefer a smaller phone) and use it out of the box, is this a major risk to my privacy and security? Are my concerns after watching the event justified?
How does that compare to if I install and use G.OS?
How about someone who is using (for example) a SS S23 without G.OS vs Pixel with G.OS?
Would I be paying a lot of money for Pixel 8 features that I can't use with G.OS?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
