I just don’t do banking or make transactions in it. It’s setup with MicroG by default. I used developer mode to get all that off and stop the attempts of google to call home. I guess without the ability to do those things they would lose market share. If you’re like me and refuse to tolerate, just remove it. Other defaults are fine. I didn’t like that I had to go through Dev mode if I wanted to remove the native maps app, but I ended up keeping it anyway.
Here is what’s good:
modular design so you can replace parts,
battery is absolutely amazing, after two months it has never wen dead, best battery life I’ve ever seen
Ethical building, part of build in China is performed under a fair labor plan
Spoofs your ip
Fakes your geolocation
Has app tracker detection and blocks leaks
Forums with helpful community
No bloatware, just normal stuff
I have had no issues with this phone. Accessories are high but they are not a big company, so… You can use NextDNS to see any tracker queries if you want. You are able to disable the google tracker in MicroG if you just go to community forum and read how. If you block in NextDNS first you will not need to worry anyways.
Any limitations you ran into?
