Enough shit about reddit. Get back to work folk. Tell me a phone with no bloatware at all, or no app pre-installed at all.

      Is there a ‘recommend me a lineageos phone’ thread somewhere?

    If you include custom ROMs, then any Pixel would check the box as you can run it with GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, LineageOS, shit even Ubuntu Touch if you want

      Stock Android has so many additional components (assistant for example) compared with GrapheneOS.

        Still, compared to the Samsung phones I’ve had in the past, there’s very little bloat. It was literally just like 8 Google apps and that was all.

          Yes true, and for some these software is unnecessary baggage and for others absolutely important features.

    Sony Xperia 1 and 5 series phones. They actually do have some bloatware but it’s not egregious at all.

      Yup this is the way, the only bloat are preinstalled apps that can be disabled, the OS itself is extremely clean

      True. Its performance and battery usage are amazing! I tried that a few weeks ago with my spare phone (OnePlus 5T).

        Mine only ever booted OxygenOS but the one time I it needed to enable Developer Options and ADB. Totally skipped the out-of-box setup, too.

        Those were simpler days.

          At this point, I’m so used to using AOSP-based custom ROMs like EvolutionX, ArrowOS, crDroid, etc, even if the stock ROM is good.

          I always unlock the bootloader after a week or two from the day I purchase a new phone; just for the sake of trying the stock ROM a little before I jump into custom ROMs ship.

        How do you feel about buying used or refurbished? Genuinely curious since I often see people with this stance

    Snag any Pixel that’s affordable to you and slap GrapheneOS (or Lineage, whichever) and you’re gold.

    Pixel as many have suggested. In addition to being able to take any of the popular ROMs, most of the apps on the stock ROM can be disabled.

    For example:

    Any Motorola phone with unlockable bootloader (most if not all), with official LineageOS support. You get a very very basic set of base apps meant for functions like the camera, calculator, music, gallery, files; apps that effrctively are used by other apps for core functions.

    Some of the Nokia lineup and many of the xiaomi phones are able to install custom roms very easily

    It depends what you mean by bloat and apps. Is the calculator bloat? What about the phone dialer? In Android, even the keyboard is a separate app.

    Even Lineage has “bloat” - do you need a SIM ToolKit app? Perhaps if your provider still uses USSD for network operations.

    If you want something slimmed down to the minimum, you’ll have to build it yourself. Because no one else knows what you need.
