Hello, I am considering de-googling my mobile experience. It seems like Samsung has bad security on their phones, which is why GrapheneOS is not available on Samsung phones, I guess. Ironically, google pixel phone is supposed to be the best fit for GrapheneOS.

So anyway, should I switch ? Ideally, I want to keep my phone. But my phone is quite old at this point, so I can consider buying a new phone. If I buy one, which one should I get?

Also, I heard call and mobile data does not work well on GrapheneOS and the like. How bad is it?

Try installing a Generic System Image onto it. I personally recommend the PHH GSI that I use on my Galaxy A53 5G.

Fairphone is a great option.

Lineage is not de-googled I think?

The a-series of pixel phones are a great value actually
