Not sure if this is even worthy of a post, but I'm in the market for a new phone now and I only see Huawei, Google (specifically the Pixel, because you can't avoid Android really) and Apple on my boycott list. No gimmicky "privacy" phones (Librem etc), I need something fairly normie.
Recommend apps too if you have any suggestions, I use Microsoft everything currently.
They're nearly always lacking in basic features or app compatibility. Your phone will track you anyway so why compromise for a false sense of security?
Had two Samsungs, both bricked in under a year.
Never had a OnePlus but that sounds annoying as fuck.
I bet TikTok is whitelisted though. Alongside all the other spy apps.
