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.
Fresh lineageos install on any phone.
I just got a Pixel 7 Pro, there only thing it came programmed with were the basic Google apps.
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.
Pixel 6 w GrapheneOS is what I use, its lovely
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:
deleted by creator
Oneplus 5T unlocked, wiped and running LineageOS 20, no Gapps.
Fite me
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.
PostmarketOS on a Pinephone, because everything after Android KitKat is bloat
Google Pixel with GrapheneOS or CalyxOS.
I’m not giving Google any money.
How do you feel about buying used or refurbished? Genuinely curious since I often see people with this stance
