Smartphone that isn't filled with AI slop or general enshittification? - SLRPNK

Shopping around, seems like every option is doubling down on anti-user garbage… I don’t trust myself to do a root or anything like that - my tech skills are juuust good enough to be painfully aware of my own dumbassery, but I’m doubting an out-of-the-box smartphone that isn’t loaded with shit even exists. Previously I’ve used Pixel and Galaxy, but those are both chief offenders.

The Chinese manufacturers are actually really good about making a durable, long lasting device with no bloatware. I use a Ulefone, and I really like it.

I also have an ulephone but I’m looking for a way out. Sadly their phones don’t have replacement parts so if your power button breaks, you can’t fix it.

I actually just had to spray contact cleaner into my volume switch to get that to work, seawater is not kind to electronics.
