Phew! I was just about to get the new Pixel too, not going to now. I wonder if Samsung will be effected.

> The changes will affect all certified Android devices once live

I think that is a yes, it will affect Samsung

Yeah, I think anything that has Google Play would fit that qualifier. So that's basically all major devices (in the West, at least). Oof.

It'd be really funny if Chinese Android devices actually end up being more free because they don't have any of the Google Play stuff on them.

Note that most of them do. Huawei was banned from it but I'm not aware of other notable brands that do not ship Google software (besides that one vendor that ships Apple software)
