Shopping around, seems like every option is doubling down on anti-user garbage… I don’t trust myself to do a root or anything like that - my tech skills are juuust good enough to be painfully aware of my own dumbassery, but I’m doubting an out-of-the-box smartphone that isn’t loaded with shit even exists.
Previously I’ve used Pixel and Galaxy, but those are both chief offenders.
I also have an ulephone but I’m looking for a way out. Sadly their phones don’t have replacement parts so if your power button breaks, you can’t fix it.
I actually just had to spray contact cleaner into my volume switch to get that to work, seawater is not kind to electronics.
Oh not that. The spring inside mine is broken
