I discovered a Nokia X20 part of the Android One program, that has native Android on it. I loved it so much, I bought a second one, even though my first is still going strong.
Two issues, no more OS updates. I’m stuck on Android 14, and there’s a weird bug with the navigation buttons vanishing from time to time.
Not a recommendation as such, more that there are phones that run unadulterated Android.
Just yesterday I finally put LineageOS on my old Tab S5e. Its so much nicer and way more fluent. Too bad Samsung makes their devices show a vwarnkng you have to click away every time the device boots now…
mine needed to be reflashed to the consumer cellular carrier rom as the at&t rom did not have oem unlock as an option, before liniage os could be flashed.
Pretty sure the ‘your device is booting a different operating system’ thingy is a general Android security feature. Torn on it, because as such, it ain’t stupid to tell the user they aren’t booting what came with the device, but it might discourage usage of non-stock Roms.
Android has been totally ruined my oems. Install lineage os and you find out what android really is.

Why not gesture navigation?
Lineage os?
I’ve never gotten my head around it, but if the vanishing buttons annoy me enough, I might have to make the change.
Unfortunately, my phone is not on the supported hardware list.

LG does too. I’m sure there is a way to hide it
