If you buy a current Android phone, it will have privacy controls for 90% (guesstimate) of apps in the Play Store.

You can allow/block permissions from any app, no matter what Android version it targets. If the app targets a version below 6.0 (Marshmallow) then the app won't ask at runtime and Android will warn you that block a permission for that app may break it.
