or get a phone that you can trust
Those pretty much don't exist.
Here are the list of phones I trust, in order:
I'm on 3, because 1 & 2 don't function well enough as phones (need reliable MMS, better audio, and better battery life). The first two have hardware switches, the last is controllable by software I somewhat trust. All three have significant caveats. Once 1 or 2 work properly as phones (don't even need Android apps), I'll switch.
Obligatory: Librem 5 and their entire company is a scam. Louis Rossmann talked about it.
Purism is slowly correcting course regarding refund policies, but meaningful improvements take time. Also, the letter from "Purism" to Rossmann came from a Purism volunteer who had no authority to publicly represent the company.
