You'd roll the dice and usually end up with some 3rd-party crapware installed. The one that royally irked me was a Verizon phone that forced me to have some NFL app installed and no matter what I did, I would get random notifications of upcoming football games and scores. There was no disabling it. Or you could end up with "Bixby" forced on you. Ugh. I've had a personal policy for the last ~20 years to always buy my phone outright from Google so it's the stock Android experience. I dropped it in the lake on a Friday evening. Add in the weekend, and Google taking a few days to process and ship and it adds up to about a week. -A
