Please write the 3 phone brands (in order please) which you think they bring the least number of third-party apps.

Notes:

1- PrivacyGuides recommends Google Pixel. But it is not selling on my country. I can not bring it from other countries because it will not have warrant.
2- We also don't have fair-phone and nothing-phone (i can not bring it from another country).
3- we only have: general-mobile, huawei, samsung, asus, tcl, htc, xiaomi, vivo, infinix, oneplus.
4- please dont recomend custom ROM. Its technically difficult for me. Also I will recommend the device to my friend (they don't have even an idead what is custom-rom)

Amazon and Facebook app managers come preinstalled as System apps on so many android phones.

It's a real pain in the ass, for sure.

In some cases adb can't uninstall them, so even worse
