    All android phone

    Not Fairphones. Fairphones are ad-free, bloatware-free and privacy-focused.

      FP4 user here. while that is true, any android ROM with google services on it isn’t privacy-focused.

      but i don’t want to miss out on clash of clans, so here i am using their bullshit spyware.

      Their mission is amazing but I’m not going to sit here and pretend any Google-laden Android isn’t also ad-laden.

        The Murena Fairphones in the U.S. are de-googled. They have replacements for pretty much everything, including email. You can import your google contacts. You can import your google calendar into the de-googled calendar and access it from app or web just like the google version. The only google stuff on my fairphone is what I put on it myself. And I can still download and run every app on the google play store if I choose.

          Murena Fairphone

          That’s awesome, never heard of this! I was referring to the stock Fairphones, which are absolutely Google-filled. But if someone is reselling them with all that crap stripped then that project is for sure worthy of recognition.
