Is there a European Android-Alternative?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

I've given up on an android alternative, or Google free android due to not wanting to lose banking apps

Android is open source. Most companies make their own versions of android that include google services and their own apps, theming

You can get a version of android without google services or emulated google services. This will make a lot of apps on the google play store not work, but its better for privacy. These are phone-specific so you may not find a version available/supported for the phone you are using. Examples are graphene os(exclusive to pixel phones), lineageos and /e/os

You can also install linux on your phone, but i dont know much about this
