As cheap as burner phones are these days, it seems the easiest route is to buy a decoy Android and fill it with plausible-looking innocent data, and leave your real phone home when going on vacation.

I don't understand why you think there's a need to fill it with plausible-looking innocent data.

Why can't you just take a new phone and say, "it's empty because I got a new phone"?
