Pixel fone.

Just got a pixel fone, man guys, these things are kinda invasive. It's digging into your mind and trying to connect you to the matrix.

Was having trouble with the unlock (fingerprint), and after a bit, it sends you an alert, having trouble with the fingerprint scanner, try adding your face for face unlock.

This thing is measuring and monitoring everything.

I didn't have to put my fingerprint or face id on my pixel, Just a passcode. I generally don't put those things on them, but that's superstition on my part, since both fingerprint and face id are both stored locally on the device from what I know, so they can't access that data remotely.

Putting my comment from what's bothering you here as well.

It's not that I'm worried about adding the biometrics, it's that I'm actively being monitored to such extent.

ah true didn't see that. I don't think I got any notifications that seemed like they were monitoring what I did, Just the standard stuff like notifying for security updates and like telling you to backup photos. Maybe it's because I didn't put the biometrics in. Wouldn't be surprised if google was monitoring people like that, they love that data.

Then they flash these random privacy policies at you a few hours into usage, after the initial setup.

My guess is they hope you gloss over it, and never turned them off, just thinking they were part of some app.

The hardware's decent enough. Can't complain. Everything's pretty light / smooth with stock android.

The launcher is, lets say you want to change brightness, you have to scroll down twice. Hrrrm..

Tp4 got the working-poor 8a edition, so the camera is meh. But Tp4 takes very few photos.

Screen quality, You know good and bad. It's very accurate, you can tell they're clamping the gamut hard. The draw back is, everything looks a bit dull like on ifones, they do the same thing, target accuracy. Samsung has that rainbow barf color mode, which Tp4 embarrassed to say enjoys on mobile.

Accuracy is not better in the majority of cases outside of photo apps.
