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?

Honestly, with Fdroid and many other open source projects at risk after Google’s last madness, I wouldn’t take anything Android anymore (nor Apple of course).
My next phone will either be a dumbphone or a Linux phone.
This is maybe a dumbass idea but god I wish a blackberry was still possible in the USA
Waiting for sailfish OS ports to get VOLTE working, I’d love to use a oneplus 6t with sailfish in the US
As of things stand right now, android is realistically still the only game in town.
If you get an android with a custom ROM you will still be able to install apps, even if f-droid decides that it isn’t worth maintaining the project for a much smaller userbase, someone will fork f-droid or you can still use Obtanium to obtain apps.
Whatever it is, it has to be able to connect to 4g networks.
