Curious what phones are more privacy-focused.

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 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...

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

Pixel 6 with CalyxOS.

[–] beigegull@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.

Lineage on a Pixel. AOSP is great without gapps

[–] authed@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (7 children)

I don't like GrapheneOS' creator... I'd rather use LineageOS on my Pixel 3... I also have a stock Pixel 5

Pixel 7 for GrapheneOS

[–] Richardisaguy@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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

[–] Ruthalas@infosec.pub 1 points 1 year ago

I wish Fairphone would release a version with antennas suitable for use in NA. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Oneplus 6 with LineageOS!

Debloated hardened Huawei with Invizible Pro and Firefox with uBO hard mode.

[–] americanwaste@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Samsung Galaxy S10+, use LineageOS on it and have replaced the battery earlier this year after it finally started to last less than a day. Hoping to get another few years out of this phone before I lose support from Lineage.

[–] Sam_uk@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Galaxy S9 off eBay and put e/os on it. Can also buy them flashed https://murena.com/products/smartphones/

[–] 4ffy@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago (5 children)

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.

Fairphone 3+ with ungoogled lineage OS

Fairphone 3 with /e/OS

I would like to upgrade to a Fairphone 4 at some point but I would prefer if they would bring back the AUX connection

[–] landordragen@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] eruchitanda@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

A little late, but Pixel+GrapheneOS.

E: bought the phone for the OS. GrapheneOS/CalyxOS are the ones recommended by the community.

[–] highduc@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pixel 7 pro + graphene. Like others I got the phone for the OS, though I'm quite concerned now that I've seen the drama between the former lead dev and Louis Rossmann (and others).

[–] KindnessInfinity@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Lead dev stepped down from the project

Poco F2 with Crdroid and microg
