The software bloat is not dissimilar to what I've heard in the past, but I'd forgotten since I haven't gone in depth researching yet. Which phones do we prefer today? Loosely off the top of my head, less bloat/intrusiveness, nice camera, battery life enough for a day, and maybe on the smaller size to fit one hand are probably what I'll be looking in to.

Apparently Pixel is the easiest to install an alternative OS on, going to start looking into that soon.

I've heard good things about Graphene OS, but also deviating from the "stock" experience might make it more difficult to do certain things... like biometrics for banking or something? Not sure myself. Will look into it too, good idea.

I've got a Ulefone, I'm quite fond of it.

Ooo I haven't heard of Ulefone before, I see some of their phones have a built in thermal camera? That sounds cool. How's the Android/software experience? I'm not familiar with the Chinese phone lines, do they have their own bloat like Samsung?

No bloatware, although mine has a "feature" called Duraspeed I need to uninstall that restricts background applications, including fitness tracking ones I actually want running, and notifies me multiple times per day about this.

Them and Doogee I really like, especially since the phones don't need to be in a case.
