I stand correctted then. Please tell me a few of these other manufacturers!
I stand very corrected. My apologies for not investigating this further before posting. I suppose i should rephrase my previous comment as:
I find it ironic that Google allows its flagship product to be rooted with an OS dedicated specifically to limiting data harvesting of Pixel users.

I don't do Android development, but I would imagine rooting makes it easier to test things, as you wouldn't have to rely on ADB all the time.
@somedaysoon @z3rOR0ne
With Samsung these days, it's usually impossible to root without some sort of exploit on US models unfortunately.
last time I checked U.S band support on international samsung versions sucks.
Pinephone is the obvious one, BUT! Have you heard of FairPhone? These things also make it easy to install other operating systems on them. Also Beter for the climate ig.
I actually have a Pinephone from a few years ago (2 years now I think?). I never used it as a daily driver as it was very slow and had comparatively less features than the iphone and samsung phones i had had previously.
Upon recently deciding on purchasing the Pixel 7a and installing Graphene OS on it, i did heavily consider the Fairphone, but I'm in the US and they only just started to come to our shores. The family plan I'm on wasn't a supported carrier, so that more or less made the decision for me.
The observation about the pinephone and fairphone being more environmentally friendly is intriguing. Care to elaborate a bit please?
I'm not the right person to do that, they got some good advertisement tho.

I'd encourage you to wait a bit tho, because it seems like they are about to announce a new one.
