I'm currently using a Moto Edge 30 Ultra it's basically completely AOSP Android the only stuff that's pre-installed are the Moto Apps that are actually useful for the phone which also don't have any ads and the phone has way better performance than all my stupid Samsung Exynos phones. So Motorola would be very good for what you're looking for. If you don't want to go with Motorola though I would recommend Sony or Fairphone.
Yeah they definitely lost me as well for a long time now.
Reasons:
For anybody who comes across this buy phones by the following companies instead of a Samsung:
Samsung needs a new Marketing Team they never promote actual cool useful features instead they only present one singular new feature for over an hour. Also they shouldn't adapt to Apple every time they remove a feature since it hurts their uniqueness image. Also they shouldn't use their Exynos Chips anymore they're so out of date compared to the Snapdragon Chips.
The Ultra version? Having the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra atm it's way better than I expected shits on Samsung in every way. Though since I don't think Motorola will release another Edge Ultra next year I'm gonna switch to Sony's High End devices since they have great build quality, cameras, no Bloatware and aren't made in China.
You can just use VoIP to call people it's not a big deal and you don't need to go the extreme ways which are being mentioned in the video you can also just spoof a lot of your device information, use a different OS etc. Minimizing privacy risks is always good but you don't need to take it that crazy serious if you're just a normal individual like me and you. We are low-value for big companies the more power, known you are the more steps you should take to protect your privacy.
Been using it for half a year I really like it because they haven't had any big controversy, they have all the features that I need and their business is located pretty close to where I live.
Wow I didn't know they were this bad thanks for sharing.
Well if you've ever patched with Revancify for example you know that some patches have options that you can configure to create a more personalized YouTube mod for you. Now you can also do it on the ReVanced Manager itself.
The app lets you use system features that are normally not available for regular apps. Basically it runs a service which has access to some System API's that can be granted to regular apps so think of it like you would have root without having root.
If you don't have a desktop you can't use it so to have something that does the same that you can use on mobile is pretty cool.
Since we all no that Google's products aren't privacy friendly at all what privacy friendly alternatives are there to Google Lens?
