The phones is the hardest one, there just is no practical alternatives to the main two. Even degoogling is centered around pixels and other mainstream brands.
I am looking at Nothing at the moment, I want something green and private.
I did see some work arounds for banking apps with harmony OS. I kight have another look.

I didnt say it was laudable oversight but it is more than what we see of China.
