Interesting article from a generalist magazine. According to it:

  • Best Preinstalled Phone: Fairphone 6 With /e/OS
  • Best for Pixel Phones: GrapheneOS
  • Best for Non-Pixel Phones: /e/OS
  • For the DIY Tinkerer: LineageOS

You haven't yet heard of the baseband modem thing? There is some debate about whether the baseband hardware has phone-home functionality on most major brands.

I thought the debate is about the baseband software having ancient unfixed vulnerabilities that can give wide access to the phone for network operator systems
