Fuck Android. I want a vanilla phone that I can install Linux into....fully open source so we can be sure Walmart is not gathering ideas of what to sell me next.
Have you looked at grapheneOS? Its essentially a fork of the android open source project with extra privacy features. So, regular android apps still work for the most part, but you dont have google spyware built in.
