    Pretty much all phones comes pre-installed with Android and completely tie to google with no easy way to get rid of it. Android is essentially develop by Google, open source or not, I’m not gonna waste time on rhetorical arguments on this.

      Pretty much all laptops come pre-installed with Windows, but it’s best practice to wipe and reinstall the OS immediately after you buy it

      Same applies to cell phones.

        Definitely not as simple to wipe out a phone as it is for a computer, and anyway most phones like Samsung are hard locked. I’m probably more geek than 95% of the population but never could do it.
