The touchscreen on my phone is dying and I could use a recommendation. Criteria are:

1) Android
2) No carrier bloatware

As far as I can tell this pretty much means a Pixel or buying a used Nexus device... is there anything else out there?

@Soreth LG Stylo 3+? I'm happy with mine. Cheap, Android 7.0, last patched in May. Just a straightforward device. (With a hardware gyro. n.n)

You might also want to look at the BLU line - my experience with one was sub-optimal, but that's because my provider was weird. Now that they're LTE, I might try a BLU again next time around.

@Momentrabbit @Soreth Blu likes to include spyware on their phones, I'd avoid them.

@Soreth @Doephin Huh. Ok, scratch Blu. I didn't know that - thanks for the heads-up.
