Call Screen for Moto & Nokia phones may be coming (see body)

I was looking through the Phone app's files (latest beta, Pixel 1) when I found these flags:

<boolean name="__data_rollout__SpeakEasy.CallScreenEnglishUsForNokia__launched__" value="false" />

<boolean name="__data_rollout__SpeakEasy.CallScreenEnglishUsForMoto__launched__" value="false" />

What do you guys think?

Side note: has anyone gotten Call Screen in Canada? I haven't got it yet, contacted Google Support and they said they'd follow up. ...

Android/Apple Privacy

I've seen several TV ads recently plugging the "privacy" angle on Apple/IOS phones; obviously an implied comparison with android devices.
I'm a long time Android user and have always considered there to be negligible difference privacy-wise with Apple.
Am I wrong?...

Regarding Huawei and Emui.

After the release of the p30 pro, I know some of you are thinking of getting it.

The reviews are all about the camera, but what I and other users want to know is how does the software stack up? what issues and bugs does Emui have? Pros and cons, comparison to Oxygen, One ui, miui, etc.

&#x200B;

All in all, I do hope to spark a good discussion....
