Fairly private.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
The default Android on them is pretty standard including Google Play services, so it is not great in regards to privacy (but could be worse, like an Apple device or so).
But for most of their models you can find good alternative Android roms or even mobile Linux distributions like PostmarketOS.
Why would I think that Apple would be worse than Google when Apple is predominantly a hardware company and Google is predominantly an ad company?
