I'm biased as I hate what google slowly started to do once they got their mitts on android. I was a late android user, in 2015 or so given a 2011 phone and marvelled at it's power compared to my old desktop. Want to do stuff, no worries, swap files around between sd media, no worries, and so much more it was basically a hand held computer except I didn't have root access but I was so impressed when I got the opportunity to buy a couple more reasonably cheap newer android phones ... semi usable is how I'd describe my experience, the latest being used only as a phone and camera ... when I turn it on ... since it was the one the only way to empty junk ad files in it's limited memory was a hard factory reset, no cleaning tool could do it before it simply ran out of memory ... note it was not a Samsung like my first phone that was gifted to me. The big killer was no wifi connection app for 2018 phone could be found that connected to free wifi with login connection (ie the native one was not going to play second fiddle) ... while 2012 software on a laptop copes. Basically google could loosen their grip a bit, and not try to run one's phone from the shadows ... or not, but what do I care, mine sit in the dark 99.9% of the time turned off.
