Things that make me angry about my current smartphone Samsung Galaxy S21Ultra on a Verizon plan is the mandatory software updates in which they install WITHOUT MY PERMISSION stupid apps like Netflix and addictive gambling games and stacking block games and Candy crush. God knows what else they install without my permission. I don't want any of it!

Next phone I buy I want to start with a clean slate, I'm not going to affiliate with any conglomerate like Verizon or AT&T or Sprint or T-Mobile etc, I prefer to go rogue somehow,

which smartphone do you recommend that has no bloatware and it's customizable?

Google Pixel or Nothing phone

Sure, the Nothing phone is a decent phone but it doesn't really have anything to offer as far as privacy and security are concerned. On the contrary, I wouldn't trust Nothing since their iMessage fiasco.

Yeah the whole iMessage thing wasn't really what I cared about, given that it's not a great look for them.

More so all the ex-oneplus talent that they have on staff to make a good quality product.

I've never heard of this company before the past week, and I'm seeing it everywhere now. I'm also really annoyed with this trend of companies appropriating random fucking words instead of using actual names.
