Please write the 3 phone brands (in order please) which you think they bring the least number of third-party apps.

Notes:

  • 1- PrivacyGuides recommends Google Pixel. But it is not selling on my country. I can not bring it from other countries because it will not have warrant.

  • 2- We also don’t have fair-phone and nothing-phone (i can not bring it from another country).

  • 3- we only have: general-mobile, huawei, samsung, asus, tcl, htc, xiaomi, vivo, infinix, oneplus.

  • 4- please dont recomend custom ROM. Its technically difficult for me. Also I will recommend the device to my friend (they don’t have even an idead what is custom-rom)

    I’m going against every one of your requirements by suggesting a pixel 6 or onwards used on eBay and install graphene os, it has the least amount of bullshit and is stupidly easy to install even for someone who’s never heard of a custom ROM

      If you didn’t read the post, the OP doesn’t have Pixels available in their country and they want warranty so used phones are not an option either

        He also said he can’t bring it in for lack of warranty.

        Well, ignoring warranty, used pixels are so cheap you can own 2 or 3 for the cost of one new one with a warranty. Basically eliminates the warranty concern.

        I’ve replaced exactly one phone under warranty (well, the expensive extended warranty bullshit), and since then I only buy used phones and just keep spares. It’s a far better value in my opinion, and I can switch phones nearly instantly.

          When you don’t have the money or ability to buy a new used phone when the previous one breaks down, warranty is a must, even if applying for a repair is as hard as making a phone yourself. Please keep in mind that even $100 is a substantial amount of money in some countries

        They clearly read and understood the post. That’s why they said I’m going to go against every one of your requirements.

          I’m sorry but what is this comment supposed to mean? I don’t understand. Is it an oxymoron?
