I have an ancient Samsung. Its going to die soon. I don't think I can get a pixel here. What are my options, coz I also hate apple?
Doubling down on Fairphone, however I heard rumors that perhaps a new model will be announced this year, so maybe wait for that (if this is true of course).
You could also just buy a new Samsung but install a different OS on it, but I remember that there are some caveats with bootloader being left unlocked and Knox security getting in the way.
I am in a similar situation with my Samsung dying (even though its S22+, which is not that old) and looking through a ton of variants, didn't reach a conclusion yet though.
Just get a mid-range Samsung device and remove the relevant apps and get a custom launcher.
Or get a Fairphone if you can afford it.
