Can't you remove Netflix on CCwGTv? The Play Store let me, and it doesn't seem to reinstall.

I might consider the Fairphone much more highly when the software is more polished and Qi is added. (I use a Framework laptop, so the Fairphone is really fitting for me)

The Zenfone looks really nice. I'm going to have to skip it though, because it's just too small. (Hopefully they make a 6" screen version)

I have a friend that uses a Redmi phone, and the ad situation is horrible. You have to manually go into the settings for each app and disable ads, and some apps only disable them for 30 days.

What would be some examples of Samsung bloat? Are there ads in those apps?
Side note: What is the C*****e company?

I can't use an iPhone because no sideloading, no filesystem access, you need iTunes to upload music (really?), etc.
(I'm asking in an Android community because I want an Android phone, not an iPhone.)

Is Apple that bad nowadays that they need News ads in a weather app? I thought Apple was the almost ad-free and privacy-focused company.

I have already said that I don’t want to deal with custom bootloaders/systems.

I would consider an ad to be an ad like on Youtube, and also things like popups to download an app when connecting a device, or deals from the same phone company as a notification. I don't care if the "ad" is from the same company as the phone, I still think of it as an ad.

I have already said that I don’t want to deal with custom bootloaders/systems. I'm also just looking at phones (and by extension phone companies) to see whether I should stay with Google in the future, or switch to a different brand.

I just want to see if other phones don't suck nowadays, I'm not switching to a different brand just yet (I own too many Google things).

I have already said that I don’t want to deal with custom bootloaders/systems. I know that stock phone systems are full of tracking, but I just want to know which ones have the least tracking that are not from Google.

I have already said that I don’t want to deal with custom bootloaders/systems.

I really can't tell if this is a joke or not (I'm not mad), but don't third-party app stores have almost all of the features as of the Play Store? F-Droid has the ability to automatically update apps silently, I think.

I have already said that I don't want to deal with custom bootloaders/systems.

It seems like there are ads in apps like Game Center, and I have heard that plugging in an Xbox controller shows a Samsung popup to download a Xbox app.

Isn't this considered bad in Arch? Or was I misled?

I don't like tweaking my OS, I need something that just works, hence my madness over important dependencies not installing automatically.

I know, but I think a Pixel looks visually different from Samsung and Xiaomi phones (I think). Look at something like the settings app in those phones, for example.

oops... fixed now
