I’m frustrated. I’m a long time fan of Motorola. Their phones have been pretty simple and easy to remove junk apps. Recently I got an update that forced perplexity on my phone.

    That’s what OnePlus, Nothing, and FairPhone are supposed to be about.

    It seems that you’re implying they’re not? Could you expand?

      OnePlus originally had really nice enthusiast features and support for the CyanogenMod ROM. Now it’s just another manufacturer of corporate-safe glass-and-metal slabs while the soul of CyanogenMod lives on in LineageOS.

      Carl Pei left OnePlus and put together Nothing. Nothing is a bit closer to what OnePlus was supposed to be, but they still leave much to be desired. They went all the way to implement a detachable back on the CMF phone, but the battery is still sealed inside. Absolutely no advantage compared to manufacturers like Google in terms of the third-party ROM experience.

      FairPhone is the best of the bunch, but their priorities don’t necessarily match those of the community (i.e. security concerns, loss of audio jack and USB 3.0 on the FP6)
