I like my Chinese phone overall but by god is the default software on it ad-filled garbage

But that's okay because everything on Google Store is filled to the gills with ads too

I hate phones :agony-minion:

Actually I love smart phones, I just think they should be more like PCs. These mobile ecosystems should be burned

    I have been using a graphene phone for almost 2 years. The main drawback is that I can't get OsmAnd navigator yo work even remotely as well as google or apple maps. Also, a lot of apps require google play services to work, so you don't really know how an app is gonna work until you download it. Some doesn't work at all, some works with some features (like Discord does everything except push notifications), and other stuff works fine.

    But otherwise, I love my phone. It feels like mine. No bloat, no adware, no bullshit. It immediately changed my relationship to my phone. But if I would replace it I might not go completely de-googled, and instead choose another os that maybe isn't as necessarily security hardened, as the lack of some google features is genuinely kind of a pain. It would be nice to like turn it off, to not have your whole system be required to use it, but still be able to.
