    Something something trust thermocline.

    My new motorola has about 2 gigs of bloat that I can’t get rid of and I’m sure it’s worse on the newer phones.

      Fairphone 5, just the basic Gapps (all deactivated), no other bloat.

      Did you get your phone from your carrier? In addition, some brands do that with cheaper phones. Can buy unlocked phones.

      Maybe try Google Pixel or iPhones that have terms against pre-installing shit.

        Yeah, thanks. It was from my carrier. I think my next phone will be a pixel, and then I’ll install my own OS.
