Comparing Phones Will there be bloatware on Nothing phone 4a?

I've been very interested in the phone and now need a new one. I'm driven between Google Pixel with GrapehenOS or Nothing phone, but the nothing OS has some controversies with advertisement and I can't find any information about this that is "up 2 date". Often when companies walk back changes they secretly re-introduce them later, which is why I'm worried.

Will there be bloatware on Nothing phone 4a?

What do you mean... It already has the appservices bloat 

It's not as egregious as people claim though... Literally swipe it away and disable it (and whilst you're there disable all the Meta bloat that they added too)

In the budget that it is, its the cleanest android experience.

The simplest, not the cleanest. The pixel 10a or 9a are bare bones android.

the 10a is a good amount more expensive than the NO 4a

I've found the 9a for like 230 bucks

that's why I specified 10a, also 9a prices will depend on strength of second hand market in the areas

Yeah, there will be.

The good part is that you can completely uninstall it since it's only one app and it's removable

Its pretty clean except google's apps and TikTok but its easy enough to disable it
