  • A last-gen refurbished pixel + GrapheneOS has been my go-to for years now. Gives me all the polished featured of flagship hardware with regular security updates and privacy.

    Bonus points, the google play compatibility shim means you can run 99% of apps that are on the play store.

    Just test the refurbished phone thoroughly on the stock os in case you need to swap it out.






  • You sound like the ideal candidate for a refurbished Pixel 7 / 8 from amazon.

    Test its hardware thoroughly on the stock os in case you need to return it.

    Install GrapheneOS using the Web installer.

    Install Droid-ify into your main profile from the f-droid web page. It looks much better than the official f-droid client and actually has a working auto-update

    Create a work profile. I use an app called Shelter as the work profile admin app. This allows you to auto freeze your big-tech apps to help with battery life / privacy. Install google services from the built-in GrapheneOS app store.

    Enjoy.
