Yes, but the FF2 only has these LTE radios....
Bands 3 (1800 MHz), 7 (2600 MHz), 20 (800 MHz)
Compare that to the similarly priced Nexux 6P global version:
LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600),
8(900), 9(1800), 17(700), 19(800), 20(800), 28(700), 38(2600), 39(1900),
40(2300), 41(2500)
That's just for starters.
I've just bought myself the Nexus 6P -- I do have a OnePlus One which is
very close in lots of ways to the 6P right now. The latter only has FHD
screen, but that is more than enough. I would have liked the HTC 10,
but it was a bit too much.
I do understand the pros and cons of Google and use Google as little as
possible; regularly using DDG over their .onion address and with Orbot
and Orfox together with ChatSecure and Signal on the phone. The Google
account is simply a means to get the apps I want from the Play store and
not much else.
If the FF2 or FF3 offered more in terms of network radios, to be much
less restricted in capability ..... then I would consider them; but I
think the biggest failings of many phones relate to their network radios
-- oh and of course, normally very late or never software updates;
something that I am hoping the Nexus 6P will fix for me. The OnePlus
One dropped the game for a while, but it seems to be back on track for
software updates at least.
Still, I have a very cheap ZTE 4G Fit phone that has all the right
radios and performs very well in terms of network connectivity; but it
is a very basic phone otherwise. Very good value for money in terms of
network radios though.
Cheers
