Honestly, with how powerful modern Smartphones are, you can just buy one now, flash an open source version of android and use that for a decade, assuming the OS gets supported that long.

By “connected” I meant controlled by the 3rd party with or without my knowledge/permission. If I cannot set what and where is being sent from a device I don’t use it. And yes, you can call me paranoid :)
