Thanks for your individually formulated feedback.
I have a PayPal account, but no Google account. So I know from practical experience that using PayPal does not require a Google account. Nevertheless PayPal needs a connection to www google com, without which the PayPal security check when logging in to PayPal will not work.
It’s great that you have eased my bad feelings with a “google-free” email address.
Well, if the developer, who in my estimation is doing a considerable amount of work around the LG G4 device family, won’t buy a LG for himself anymore, I’ll keep my hands off it.
The /e/ Deive Roadmap indicates the effort to officially introduce two LG Gx e-9-pie and even to migrate a total of four LG devices to 9-Pie or 10-Q. These are good prospects for LG enthusiasts.
@steadfasterX, I wish you continued success and a happy hand in choosing your smartphones.
