"Linux-based 4G phones with Google Assistant "
i was ok with the first phrase, the second was like grain alcohol spiking a fine bourbon.
The reason i would buy a linux phone would be to avoid having a MITM burned onto the rom of my phone. The device presented in this article doesnt provide that nessecity.
I think the law of averages applies, not knowing how much google and others payout to burn kruft into peoples product, im going to guess that the increased global saturation level of google ASSistant is worth it for google and a good revenue for the OEM.
ill bet the price is subsidied to 7$, i would pay 70$ for this phone, if it had no google ass in it.
