If you are adventurous you could install a so-call ROM. Since android is open source you can install a ‘clean’ non-google version of android. You can avoid (or minimally) tracking by google or facebook and others. - longer battery life because of slim down software.
I did install that to g6play - See here

since you are already in ifixit - you are someone who likes to tinker with stuff.
