Please write the 3 phone brands (in order please) which you think they bring the least number of third-party apps.

Notes:

1- PrivacyGuides recommends Google Pixel. But it is not selling on my country. I can not bring it from other countries because it will not have warrant.
2- We also don't have fair-phone and nothing-phone (i can not bring it from another country).
3- we only have: general-mobile, huawei, samsung, asus, tcl, htc, xiaomi, vivo, infinix, oneplus.
4- please dont recomend custom ROM. Its technically difficult for me. Also I will recommend the device to my friend (they don't have even an idead what is custom-rom)

Asus zen phone had received great reviews. You can use it as stock Android or with Asus' slight customizations. It's on the smaller side but it's a good price.

You make it sound being small is bad when it's the reason I bought it haha love not having a tablet for a phone!

Isn't Asus disable the bootloader unlook and lost a case? I think I read this somewhere in Lemmy.

It was disabled on the 10, yes. ASUS promised to enable unlocking but last I checked (a few months ago) they still hadn't done it.

i loved mine but 2 years from launch they stopped all updates. can't recommend asus at all just for that reason. i havent tried custom roms because a couple years ago when i tried they all had weird issues
