Xiaomi does not make Android One phones anymore, and there are some preinstalled apps from Xiaomi. Also, it's full of Google Apps that are spyware but from a different company...

iirc, they stopped producing phones with Android One around a year ago. So if you want to buy a new one you will have to get one with miui. Which is, like i said, is packed with spyware.

When i bought my Redmi 4a, as a backup phone, i had to root it and flash with lineageos, because the amount of telemetry that phone was sending somewhere was straight up absurd. Same story with Mi 8.

Guess my next one will be nokia then. Been rocking xiaomi a1 with the android one for who knows how long now.
