Since I don't want a single cent of my money to go to Google,
Likewise!
I won't buy a Pixel phone.
I bought a couple Pixel 8 Pro phones from the "Reconditioned" section of
Best Buy.
They've been great, and not a penny to Google. In fact, the second time
I contacted Gizmodo (the reseller) directly and bought straight from
them, so Best Buy didn't get a cent either.
I paid $300 for a Pixel 8 Pro in "fair" condition back in May; they're
now $400+, so timing was good. Phone is flawless, put it in a Liquid
Silicone case for $8 (eBay) and it's a fantastic combo. Got a similar
case from Ali Express for $1.50 but it's not as soft & grippy as the
real Liquid Silicone.
Of course, dBrand from Toronto probably have the best cases.
Just heard about https://pelacase.ca/, a Canadian company making cases
from recycled materials. A worthy cause...
Those phone + case options, plus GrapheneOS is probably the best
Canadian solution right now IMHO.
(I have not tried GrapheneOS yet.)
