Enough shit about reddit. Get back to work folk. Tell me a phone with no bloatware at all, or no app pre-installed at all.
Some of the Nokia lineup and many of the xiaomi phones are able to install custom roms very easily
love my G50 dropped it in the toilet and she still goes hard
I just got a Pixel 7 Pro, there only thing it came programmed with were the basic Google apps.
Stock Android has so many additional components (assistant for example) compared with GrapheneOS.
Still, compared to the Samsung phones I’ve had in the past, there’s very little bloat. It was literally just like 8 Google apps and that was all.
Yes true, and for some these software is unnecessary baggage and for others absolutely important features.
Any Motorola phone with unlockable bootloader (most if not all), with official LineageOS support. You get a very very basic set of base apps meant for functions like the camera, calculator, music, gallery, files; apps that effrctively are used by other apps for core functions.
Snag any Pixel that’s affordable to you and slap GrapheneOS (or Lineage, whichever) and you’re gold.

Pixel as many have suggested. In addition to being able to take any of the popular ROMs, most of the apps on the stock ROM can be disabled.
For example:
Google Pixel with GrapheneOS or CalyxOS.
I’m not giving Google any money.
Oneplus 5T unlocked, wiped and running LineageOS 20, no Gapps.
Fite me
True. Its performance and battery usage are amazing! I tried that a few weeks ago with my spare phone (OnePlus 5T).
Mine only ever booted OxygenOS but the one time I it needed to enable Developer Options and ADB. Totally skipped the out-of-box setup, too.
Those were simpler days.
At this point, I’m so used to using AOSP-based custom ROMs like EvolutionX, ArrowOS, crDroid, etc, even if the stock ROM is good.
I always unlock the bootloader after a week or two from the day I purchase a new phone; just for the sake of trying the stock ROM a little before I jump into custom ROMs ship.
