Google’s Android, the world’s most widely used mobile operating system, started life as open-source software. In its quest for ever-greater profits, the tech giant has been gradually eroding Android’s open-source nature over the last decade.

Would Moto count? I've been rocking their basic-ass phones for years now. Way, way less bloatware than Samsung, etc. and only like $200 unlocked.

I think Moto is actually Lenovo now?

[–] comador@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Yup. Motorola is Chinese Lenovo now sadly. Lenovo is absolute trash devices and support.

Been using Moto since Z1 and would say that their phones are fine. $200 for a phone that lasts 4 years is a decent deal.
