I only buy cheap Androids with Snapdragon and degoogle. Yeah, Android is also starting to suck but at least you are currently allowed to take out the trash.
I learned today that connecting a child's Google account to a device completely neuters the ability to install or manage apps from anywhere other than Google Play. As in: I, the parent, can't even temporarily allow F-Droid to be able to install an app. Fuck Google, too.
