Shopping around, seems like every option is doubling down on anti-user garbage… I don’t trust myself to do a root or anything like that - my tech skills are juuust good enough to be painfully aware of my own dumbassery, but I’m doubting an out-of-the-box smartphone that isn’t loaded with shit even exists.

Previously I’ve used Pixel and Galaxy, but those are both chief offenders.

    Sony Xperias.

    Afaik, only circle to search and the ToF sensor to focus on images is AI. (On Xperia 1 VI)

    (Yes, Sony removed a sensor for AI… It takes good pictures though.)
