Look at taobao, look for Google pixel phones. They’re amazingly available, and slightly cheaper than outside of China. I think the discount is reflective of what a pain in the ass it is to use a Google phone in China.
For all the people saying they would never buy a phone from China, you realize most phones are built in China already right?
Just make sure to erase that Google spyware and install GrapheneOS
calyxos is amazing too!
I tried it out, it’s not bad but Graphene is better. GrapheneOS makes significant improvements to low level parts of the operating system stack like the memory allocator and SELinux policies. Also, it doesn’t give any applications root privileges (unlike Calyx which runs F-Droid and microG as root) and Graphene’s Sandboxed Google Play works better than microG. Calyx also often misses important security patches. GrapheneOS is super fast at releasing updates and they even fix bugs that are present in upstream AOSP. I clearly recommend GrapheneOS over CalyxOS.
