Fleeing the Plantation

[Mister Obvious]

With a cheapy Android, make sure you uninstall all the garbage apps, and every time you do a software update, look through the app list again and uninstall everything they installed back on it. They slip at least 3 bloatware apps into each update. The higher end Androids don't do this, but if you ask me, any Android cheap or not is better than iPhone in this current era.

Look up articles about how to save battery life on an Android and follow all those steps.

I am not gonna blow smoke up your ass and act like a $30 Android is gonna equally perform like a high end Android, but there are a lot of ways to make it usable.
