There is no choice for good hardware, non-walled garden and no tracking. Choose two. If there is, please show me and I will be the first in line.

Android forks would be great but unfortunately phones come with plenty of firmware that gets wiped on flashing a new OS. And if the question is a possibly non-working camera than I personally will remain in the walled garden, but not happily.

Maybe that’s because “no tracking” is close to impossible without a walled garden if you want to use commercial, ad revenue based apps or services.

No tracking is a security/sandbox feature (or at least the part that can be enforced. Like apple can’t tell facebook to stop analyzing your messages, but it can deny location readings/cross-app tracking, et,)
