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 guess the disagreement here is coming from how we define a “clean” experience. Based on my recent use of phones from both manufacturers, the Motorola phone allowed me to disable and uninstall more stuff without breaking the core UX, hence it was a cleaner experience. Motorola doesn’t really impose itself on the user, in that sense.

    Alternatively Pixels are really designed to be used by people fully integrated within Google’s ecosystem. When you start attempting to escape that it becomes a pretty annoying experience and one that I would not define as “clean”. It’s increasingly akin to using a Samsung phone with OneUI, which is similarly insistent on you using all it’s baked-in, exclusive first-party features (many of which requite an account or enable additional tracking).
