You can include your phone specific model if you want.
I just got a Samsung Galaxy S23, switching from an iPhone 11, because I kinda fear that Apple might turn evil and start banning apps from the app store. I mean I knew about how restrictive iOS was but I kinda just justified it by the increased security that I perceived it to be. But recent events made me realize a corporation can turn from mildly annoying to full-on evil very quickly. With Android, I have the option of avoiding the Google Play Store if they start to do weird things with it. So that’s my story, what about you?
Pixel 4, and lineage os. Privacy and limited google apps.
I recommend grapheneos.org they offer regular and timely updates and offer a lot of very good security features such as contact/storage permission scopes (choose what contacts/files an app can access instead if being forced to allow all access or no access. I recommend at least giving it a look. I think you’ll love it if you want privacy and security. Have a look at the website, they offer way more than I have typed here. If you have questions I can answer them
