Question regarding android phones
(lemm.ee)
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

If you are looking for a generic phone with good privacy and usability I would highly recommend a Pixel with Graphene OS. If you've never flashed a phone before, you can install Graphene within a web browser and never need to do any of the more complicated flashing stuff like most other setups require. It also allows you to optionally install Sandboxed Google Play Services (on the main profile or isolated on a second one), letting you access normal apps while still having some of the privacy and performance benefits of an otherwise de-Googled phone.
And from what I've seen, Pixels are probably the friendliest to other custom OSes as well.
But not friendliest on IO. No headphone jack. No microSD. No dual SIM.
I'm still using my old Pixel 4a because I refuse to get a phone without a headphone jack lol
Sony is still carrying the torch for flagships
Yes, absolutely. Having to use a dongle for my earbuds sucks :( SD is something I don't really notice tho because 128 gigs is pretty much bottomless for a phone.
