Pixel 6 with CalyxOS.
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.
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
I wish Fairphone would release a version with antennas suitable for use in NA. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
it isn't the phone itself but the operating system on it that makes it private.
I don't like GrapheneOS' creator... I'd rather use LineageOS on my Pixel 3... I also have an Android Pixel 5
GrapheneOS is a fantastic software regardless of its creator. Also didn't Daniel Micay step down?
That's good.. he might have only stepped down from lead développer position though
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+ with ungoogled lineage OS
Pixel 6a with Graphene
Pixel 6 GrapheneOS
Grapheneos pixel 6a
Poco F2 with Crdroid and microg
A little late, but Pixel+GrapheneOS.
E: bought the phone for the OS. GrapheneOS/CalyxOS are the ones recommended by the community.
Lineage on a Pixel. AOSP is great without gapps
A de-googled huawei.
Honestly, i care less about the Chinese knowing what time i go to bed, when i get up and the fact i rarely leave the house, than I do having google knowing literally everything :D
F-droid for apps, nextcloud for my contacts, calendar, bookmarks etc
Galaxy S9 off eBay and put e/os on it. Can also buy them flashed https://murena.com/products/smartphones/
Oneplus 6 with LineageOS!
POCO F3 with LineageOS for microG
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.
A land line that I avoid using unless absolutely necessary. There is no such thing as a private cellular device.
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.
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
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.
iPhone. Say what you will but android is made from the ground up to siphon off your data. It requires so many hoop jumps to avoid that.
s8+ with /e/OS, works great, simple to use
