    Getting a non carrier Samsung phone is fine. Doesn’t come with any social media or media bloat and can easily disable or uninstall Samsung dupe apps outside of Samsung pay. Was the case on my S20 and my wife’s S23 isnt bad either

      One tip that I’d like to add: you can connect ADB and user disable packages even if you can’t uninstall them in the GUI. This helped me slim down an S21. I recommend doing this when you first get the phone rather than later in case you disable something important, so you can reset and be on your way before you really get set up.

      I always prefer a leaner system, but it can be quite serviceable.
