Hello everyone, I have a question : Does Android phone have hardware based trackers? Not with the telecom part (for sure it has some), but especially in the CPU... And are Chinese phones worst than USA branded? So is the fact of having a degoogled os resolved the problem? Thx 😃

Define "trackers". They don't put in a chip to track you, no, but if you connect to cell networks, that can be tracked.
