Would you prefer to buy a new smartphone without Google services? Or can't you do without it? - 1

I'm talking primarily about Huawei

In the current Huawei smartphones, the Appgallery is a good alternative in my opinion, so that you can get the most important apps without the Google Play Store. For me, it would therefore also work without these services, especially since almost every app that the normal user needs is slowly becoming available, apart from the Play Store.

It would not bother me if I bought such a smartphone. Still, it would be better for the competition if the restrictions for Huawei didn't exist. Would also make buying decisions easier for many.

When I buy a cell phone I want a phone and nothing else. I can tolerate the fact that a camera is now integrated.

But I think that more additives are not absolutely necessary. On the one hand, this amount begins to overwhelm because it becomes confusing and, on the other hand, operation is becoming increasingly difficult due to buttons that are too small and too close together. Furthermore, you could finally stop using the English names.

I have nothing against English names, what do you mean exactly?

I can usually not do anything with the names of the apps. And if you want to try them out, you have the advertising on your neck.

Because of the known problems and the effects on jobs and the European economy - my next smartphone will be as fair and free as possible.

I hope that Pinephone will be available soon https://store.pine64.org/?product=pinephone-community-edition-ubports-limited-edition-linux-smartphone

I'm really tired of Android. I want independence, privacy, etc. I want to make my own decision and not let US internet companies direct and exploit me.

You could also install LineageOS or other free operating systems on Android, right?

I think that depends on the smartphone, but I'm not a professional.

You can install on so many Android smartphones and there are many detailed instructions on the Internet. Plus a large community.

If I really think about it, I don't really draw any disadvantages. If I miss these for any reason, I simply get an APK.

I only have a cell phone to call and text anyway.

I use Google on my computer.
