Curious what phones are more privacy-focused.
Pixel6 with grapheneOS
❤
I’m using a pixel 6a with GrapheneOs
Pixel 7 for GrapheneOS
Moto g7 play with lineageOS 20 + microg + magisk delta I’m also running adaway and blocking all the tracker activities from my apps using app manager, and of course, using the most FOSS as possible for replacing proprietary apps. It works well, but sadly this phone won’t allow me to hide root and the locked bootloader, so no safetynet because of CTS verification.
Edit: if I use hardware attestation disabler on lsposed, it passes
A pinephone with postmarketOS and sxmo
How’s the battery life?
Currently a Pixel with an anonymous custom ROM, although I’ve got a PinePhone on my desk I need to test more.
Cell phones are incompatible with privacy. Any phone necessarily constantly sends your location to your cell provider just in order to work. But even if that’s true, there’s no reason to also let someone else be the remote administrator for a sensor node with a camera and microphone that you carry everywhere. Running a mobile OS with a universal backdoor is bad times.
I guess I’m the rare CalyxOS user
Lineage on a Pixel. AOSP is great without gapps
I recently got myself a Pixel 7 Pro. the preinstalled OS really tries to push all the Google stuff on you, which isn’t great.
but after a quick look around for 1 hour, I installed GrapheneOS and am very happy with italthough I’d really like to have a Linux smartphone. but there seems to be none with good hardware…
Android uses the Linux kernal, so it is technically linux
Pixel 4a with GrapheneOS
A de-googled huawei.
Honestly, i care less about the Chinese knowing what time i go to bed, when i get up and the fact i rarely leave the house, than I do having google knowing literally everything :D
F-droid for apps, nextcloud for my contacts, calendar, bookmarks etc
Pixel 4a 5G with GrapheneOS. Though it’s finally starting to hold less and less of a charge, so I may “upgrade” to a newer yesteryear Pixel model.
Cheap/medium 180€ Xiaomi with Lineage OS with micro g, been loving it for 3 years, never gave a single problem and battery is still decent.
Lineage gives your device much more life, because without all the google services you stress the battery and the CPU way less, after installing it the phone stopped lagging completely even if the memory was full and i kept plenty of apps open.
I went from believing i had an old, laggy and crappy phone to realizing i’m holding in my hands an amazing machine that with a new battery can easily last other 3 years if not more!
Consumism is really shaping our minds into believing we always have to get more and more and more, and of course google will push android updates on phones which cannot support the updated version, that you can buy a new phone, lovely <3
Poco F3, for now, with stock ROM but uninstalled all useless and google stuff
Fairphone 3+ with /e/OS. It has been 3 years now, still working fine, and no major problems really. It is expensive for what you get, but if it can help reducing e-waste and spare me the burden of buying a phone every 2 years, I think it’s worth.
