you can do that on any modern Android phone, just install Shizuku + Canta and "uninstall" whatever Google app you don't like

Benefit of having a Pixel, you can install Graphene OS and get rid of all of the BS and not have a second layer of Samsung's shit all over it.

    Currently there is a guy in court for giving a duress-password to border guards. From nuisance to a real problem in 30 seconds. =3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2rokxux5cU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2rokxux5cU

      he would be in same issues with Samsung and not giving the password let's blame the tool, not the person using it, I assume you also think cars kill people, not the the people driving the cars...

        Every iPhone and Android device can be cloned in a few minutes with physical access. Others with standard base-band cell LTE/G5 modem devices are remote tapped in seconds without user knowledge. The fact is technology can never fix legal policy, privacy protection, or societal issues. =3

        There are companies that are specialized in cracking phone logins with unpublished zero-click $370/unit product exploits. An LLM will not help you kid. Also the joke meme: https://xkcd.com/538/ https://xkcd.com/538/ The only indication of a remote-compromised system is apparently a slight drop in battery life, and higher than normal background data. Privacy is dead. =3
