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 see we are talking about very different things when we talk about bloat.

    If Google play has super control of the phone I consider that bloat and a huge risk surface.

        It’s the least amount of trusted parties you can get on Android phone. Since every android sold outside of China has Google play as super root anyway, limiting the trusted parties to one is the least bloated you can get… And that’s pixel. If you want AOSP. That’s also pixel, the only phone with pure AOSP builds available
