Yeah. Before OneUI 8, you could set up a custom ROM on a Samsung phone too. Short of that you can disable google services. Use non google apps from F-Droid or Aurora Store. You can also use ADB to uninstall system-level APKs. Though the only way that I know of to fully de-google is to install a different OS.

Not all android spies on you. Have you ever tried GrapheneOS? It’s very secure and pro-privacy. Technically it’s not android (if you really want to nitpick), but you need a Google Pixel to run it.

Such irony

This is the dumbest and most immature thing I have seen in a while. While I don’t supporting generalizing an entire nation like this, if you’re going to mock the US then at least do it properly. How are people supposed to react to this? “Ha ha! Drug addicts are so stupid!”? Not to mention that of all the things you could criticize the US for, fent addicts are not the most pressing issue.
