I need to use Google Android OS for work. If I use a Pixel 4, will it spy on me less than if I use something newer like a Pixel 9?

It is worse than the Google Pixel by a lot. Samsung loves spyware (looking at you you preloaded Israel spyware for phones in the middle east), and you still have the Google spyware too (Samsung+Google OS vs just Google). Pixel is pretty clean (compared to other certified Android devices). I used Universal-Android-Debloater-NG on a fresh Pixel 10 and there wasnt much to debloat (without compromising functionality). Avoid phone carriers when buying a phone, more spyware.

My recommendations: Buy a Pixel 9 or 10 (unlocked not from a carrier) and flash GrapheneOS. Way better than stock.
