Looking for a New Android Phone Recommendation

I don’t know where you’re located, but if you’re in Europe it may be worth looking into the Fairphone 3. They just started shipping a de-googlified version as well.

Depends on your definition of bloatware

Possible a Pixel

Possible any phone that can be rooted and flashed with an OS of your choice - depending on exactly what you want

Possibly a PinePhone64

Try to find phones with Lineage OS support.

They arent ready for primetime yet (at least last I heard). Its requires a lot of tinkering and time to get bare basic functionality. Its also unoptimized so performance and battery life is likely not reflective of the phone specifications. Give it time. Better yet wait for their PinePhone Pro (Like what they did with the Pinebook)

Closed as previous post was more than 6 months ago, and OP likely has gotten a new phone by now.

Feel free to open a new thread for phone recommendations.
