Oh boy, i DonT gIve dAta tO GoveErnmen. I hope you're using Google Pixel with GrapheneOS. Google can easily blacklist Pixel phones when it was sold outside their market. Samsung and Xiaomi can just inject bloatwares on their devices and request permissions. They are just the same, bad boys.
Oops.

Sorry buddy! Maybe next time research your phone manufacturer.
Oops. Sorry buddy! I don't use MIUI native/built-in apps. I disabled them right away through ADB.
Mi Browser is the shittiest mobile browser anyway. As for data collection, Qualcomm collects data from the devices where their SoC built: ^thanks^ ^nextdns^ ^lulz^
So you won't buy a Samsung because it may allow remote access, but the first thing you do on your phone is to remove as much access and problematic software as possible since it's riddled with it.
Just keep arguing with yourself, I won't stop you.
Nah, bruh. I'm not arguing. I'm content with my current device with my own threat model. You?
