Yikes this is bad. It's enough to make me want to drop Samsung for future phones, since /e/ and Lineage only support older models.
I wish they had included Pixel phones with stock firmware in the study. Kind of strange that they didn't. We could have seen if Google was collecting additional handset data on the Pixel beyond what they collect on all other Android phones.
