I’ve been needing to buy a new phone and while I’m here in china I’ve seen some really intriguing options only available here.

obviously the telemetry is extremely problematic, more so than non chinese phones, is it feasible to try remove with adb or the universal debloater? since there is custom rom support at all? or should I just forget about it?

    we have no real way of knowing where the spyware is. It may may be baked into the main OS, the added apps or other.

    Or in the hardware, like the baseband processor or even something more obscure. Replacing the OS won’t help with that.
