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.

I just got a Pixel 7 Pro, there only thing it came programmed with were the basic Google apps.

Stock Android has so many additional components (assistant for example) compared with GrapheneOS.

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).

Some of the Nokia lineup and many of the xiaomi phones are able to install custom roms very easily

Any Motorola phone with unlockable bootloader (most if not all), with official LineageOS support. You get a very very basic set of base apps meant for functions like the camera, calculator, music, gallery, files; apps that effrctively are used by other apps for core functions.

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:

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.

Google Pixel with GrapheneOS or CalyxOS.

I'm not giving Google any money.

[–] limeaide@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

How do you feel about buying used or refurbished? Genuinely curious since I often see people with this stance

Pixel 6 w GrapheneOS is what I use, its lovely
