Hello. I have been trying to DeGoogle for about one month, migrating from Google to other services. But the biggest obstacle is Android, which is deeply embedded with Google services and, of course, trackers. It’s really, really hard to replace it with alternatives. There are no alternatives I know that are compatible with my phone. Maybe I will have to buy a new phone, or look for even more alternatives, or code my own operating system (OS) (but I can’t code!). I don’t know whether I can De- this Android. Hmmm…
Is there any good way to De- this Android? If I can’t, is there any way to improve privacy and minimize the ability and impact of Google on this “failed to DeGoogle” phone? Thanks for any advice.
I’m using Redmi Note 13.
Used? This summer, I got a 7a new for this price! It is still very expensive for a phone, but I really didn’t want to go for a used one.
You have to have luck and find a good deal. The MSRP is still at $499 (which is absolutely ridiculous).
Yeah, I have no idea why it cost like this (it was from an unofficial reseller, as they’re not sold officially here). I used to think this is just becasuse it’s Japanese, but no, American version cost around the same.
