Fairphone 4 can run CalyxOS
Comment on Should I buy a Fairphone? If not, what SHOULD I buy and why?

In my opinion, the pixel is the best option simply for grapheneOS. The privacy and security is unmatched, which are serious concerns these days.
That being said, the fairphone is an extra ~300€ here.

It can, and I’d definitely take that over stock, but Calyx is less private and much less secure.

Yeah I guess it depends if you care more aboutrepairablre and sustainable hardware or privacy in the software. shame we can’t have both :P

I know. Unfortunately, it is now illegal to tall about abortion here (sort of), so my choice there is clear.

Pixel a series. Half the price for not much given up.

Thought pixel was Google and tracked everything?

The default android installation is, but you can delete it and install another OS onto it. Which is something you can’t do on Samsungs.

That doesn’t exclude hardware-based spyware

It is, but its big advantage is aftermarket software support.
GrapheneOS in particular only supports pixels due to their security features, and is (almost) entirely disinfected.

Indeed. But i was responded to above who recommended Pixel. If you don’t need the features you get from full Pixel series, I recommend the A series since it’s a lot cheaper.
