I have been considering replacing my nearly 7 year old iPhone (although very reluctant) and I was checking for options. Really the only phone that caught my eye was the Sony xperia 1 V, but I found no information about how to degoogle and lock down the device. I really like the features and the built in camera apps, etc. Is there a way to degoogle the phone without loosing the funcionality/ease of use?

I think you are confusing phones, PCs, consoles and music.

Sony phones are by no means worse than stock google phones. They offer very close to stock experience.

LOL. Yes because Sony somehow would t employ the same douchery with phones as they do with their other platforms and services.

Sorry Sony, not buying your snake oil lol.

Sony Corporation (which includes Sony Mobile) is not the same subsidiary as Sony Interactive Entertainment (which owns PlayStation). There is no reason to just blindly assume that the two companies have the exact same business structure. You talk about snake oil but the only one making baseless claims here is you.
