Hey there! i currently have a Samsung Galaxy A55 and i want to try one of the privacy focused phones. But idk which is the best i could try.
My findings:
- Fairphone with /e/OS, but ive heard /e/OS is apparantly not that secure.
- Google Pixel with GrapheneOS, but with this one I still need to buy from Google.
- Linux phones, but I’m concerend they dont support all the apps i want to use.
that being said, can you use MicroG instead of Google Services for ALL apps? or does it only work for things like Revanced?
edit:
i also use a Samsung smartwatch with Google Wallet so would this still be possible with an alternate OS?
You don’t need to buy from Google if you buy your pixel used.
this is the way
That’s what I did 😁
ebay screwed me over when i tried to get my last fairphone and it’s obvious why we should stay away from amazon.
where else can I buy?
Your local craigslist, face2face
Is there a website for this? Google doesn’t show anything related to buying phones

It’s weird that I can’t find cmf or nothing phones that are unlocked
