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?

    I plan to use a Pixel 9 with Graphene, but plan to buy one used from a private party. You’re still inadvertently supporting Google but at least less directly. I’d never buy something new from them.
