  • EOS does indeed have google services removed, and replaced with microG, which is an open source replacement that allows dependent apps to still work. You can check it out here:

    I really like the balance they go for between practicality and privacy. Never tried their own online services so I can’t comment on that part.

    If you’re concerned about the lifespan of the device, maybe the FP4 or FP5 would better. Lacking headphone jack aside, they seem like good upgrades and should last waaay longer.
