Get a second-hand Pixel 3 and put Lineage on it.
Better yet graphene OS
The GrapheneOS team strongly recommend against rooting devices. Google Wallet doesn't support them as they won't pass Google's Safety Net. Never tried to root a GrapheneOS device so not sure if it's possible to force a pass.
They also strongly recommend against using Firefox
The beloved Firefox? Would you - in a nutshell - explain this to me, please ??
There's some kind of native sandboxing situation with their chromium browser that Firefox doesn't have. The way they shit talk Firefox in the process though makes me skeptical it could possibly matter that much
If root is must i guess you are right
I see a refurbished q28gb model for €210 on a website here... But the Pixel 3 is six years old by now. Is that a good price for this phone? I have a Huawei Mate 10 pro which is starting to act up, but that's only a year older.
It’s cheap yet functional, well-supported by lineageOS and other custom ROMs.
It also looks beautiful.
I dunno... I also see a Pixel 6 for about 40€ more. Which is also supported by LineageOS, at least. Seems a better buy, but I'm not too well-informed here. What do you think?
Newer models would get more support in the long run, but they tend to be expensive
If Pixel 6 is affordable, then that would be the best option.
