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 it
although 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
Nah, I wanna have a real Linux system, complete with userspace environment and my complete control over everything
GrapheneOS is pretty cool for now though.
I haven't tried PostmarketOS.
But I'm so in love with my Steam Deck. it's just pure beauty to have a complete Linux system in this lovely package. I can just ssh into it :-D
so, it would be awesome to have a device, that would fit in my IT environment. Apple products work better/exclusively with Apple products, Linux stuff works better with Linux stuff.
Pixel6 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
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.
I bought a Pixel 7 for the sole purpose of GrapheneOS. I really have no complaints. It Just Works and I feel slightly less uncomfortable carrying a phone with me.
Galaxy S9 off eBay and put e/os on it. Can also buy them flashed https://murena.com/products/smartphones/
A land line that I avoid using unless absolutely necessary. There is no such thing as a private cellular device.
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
Fairphone 3(+, well it's only half way between plus and non-plus)
running /e/OS (ridiculous stupid name)
it's okay - but too expensive for okay
I wish Fairphone would release a version with antennas suitable for use in NA. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Lineage on a Pixel. AOSP is great without gapps
Right now, iPhone. Hardened with some advice taken from the book of Michael Bazzell.
Planing on moving towards Pixel with Graphene OS in the near future. I’m also using macOS and planing on moving towards Arch Linux. Used it for a long long time before when times where simpler and privacy was less difficult to achieve and I plan to go back.
Iphone 14 max pro and using nextdns.
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
Pixel 6 GrapheneOS
Poco f1 with lineageos without google apps
Fairphone 3+ with ungoogled lineage OS
Poco F2 with Crdroid and microg
iPhone 14 Pro Max
I don't like GrapheneOS' creator... I'd rather use LineageOS on my Pixel 3... I also have a stock Pixel 5
GrapheneOS is a fantastic software regardless of its creator. Also didn't Daniel Micay step down?
That's good.. he might have only stepped down from lead développer position though

Fairphone with /e/OS. I also like the fair-trade and repairability aspects of it.
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.

Pixel 4a with GrapheneOS
OnePlus 8T, running Lineage with MicroG.
Probably not as privacy focused as some, but TrackerControl keeps some of it in check.
Poco F3, for now, with stock ROM but uninstalled all useless and google stuff
Gigaset GS290 with /e/
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.
