TL;DR: Pretty bad. I definitely wouldn’t buy one. I wouldn’t mess around with Custom ROMs as most phones don’t allow you to relock the bootloader, which decreases security significantly. A Pixel with GrapheneOS is the best option. Pixel phones have great hardware security and full supported for Android Verified Boot, even with a custom OS. Just make sure to get a 6th Generation or newer, as the older models don’t get security updates anymore. The Pixel 6a is perfect, you can find it for around $150 used and it gets security updates until 2027.
