    I use MIUI, so my privacy is already kapoot.

    But you can still lessen the tracking by replacing your DNS with Quad9 or NextDNS, and use a privacy-friendly web browser like ungoogled Chromium and Firefox. Based on my NextDNS analytics, Qualcomm aggressively collects anonymous device data, and I don’t think that they will use it maliciously.

    Currently, my device is Redmi Note 11 (MIUI EU ROM, tanggal crapwares, less ads). This will be my last Xiaomi device, and going to use this until it breaks and/or slows down the performance.

      Will have to check yung DNS thing. May nakita ako before na i-add somewhere sa settings pero would like to understand sana on what it entails.

      Naka FF+uBO and DDG browsers naman din, though hindi pa nagde-debloat.

      Same. Only bought this kasi eto lang yung compact-ish with good specs when my old Z8 suddenly died. Sana may super compact pa din Unihertz pa kapag nag-expire na security updates neto.

        I bought my device last year, completely relapsed my “no smartphone life” I started in 2021. I mainly use my device for banking, Viber, and casual web browsing when I’m outside. Its battery can last up to next day/night.

        Okay sana Pixel 6A and 7A, may doubts ako when it comes to their bootloaders. Ang mahal naman ng Sony Xperia mid-rangers at Zenfones.

        Go to Settings/Connection and Sharing/Private DNS. Search for suitable DNS resolvers.
