      Major one for me is their software. No matter the cost, I don’t think an Operating System should be crafted in a way that sneakily consumes user data and delivers ads to the user by default. Not on the lockscreen, not in the notification tray, not in the system apps like the file browser. Also, transmitting requests in incognito mode to their servers by default, can you really trust them?

      That should mean better software dev (ROMs etc) though? One device to build for, despite the different names.

        No really. They are still a bit different - white-labeling, launcher etc.

        What would be much better is: do not bring same or mostly the same device to market as multiple models of multiple brands. One hardware - one name.
