A pinephone with postmarketOS and sxmo

Pixel6 with grapheneOS

I recently got myself a Pixel 7 Pro. the preinstalled OS really tries to push all the Google stuff on you, which isn't great.
but after a quick look around for 1 hour, I installed GrapheneOS and am very happy with it

although I'd really like to have a Linux smartphone. but there seems to be none with good hardware...

I'm using a pixel 6a with GrapheneOs

Pixel 6 with CalyxOS.

Fairphone with /e/OS. I also like the fair-trade and repairability aspects of it.

Pixel 6 GrapheneOS

Moto g7 play with lineageOS 20 + microg + magisk delta I'm also running adaway and blocking all the tracker activities from my apps using app manager, and of course, using the most FOSS as possible for replacing proprietary apps. It works well, but sadly this phone won't allow me to hide root and the locked bootloader, so no safetynet because of CTS verification.

Edit: if I use hardware attestation disabler on lsposed, it passes

Pixel 4a with GrapheneOS

Fairphone 3+ with /e/OS. It has been 3 years now, still working fine, and no major problems really. It is expensive for what you get, but if it can help reducing e-waste and spare me the burden of buying a phone every 2 years, I think it's worth.

it isn't the phone itself but the operating system on it that makes it private.

A de-googled huawei.

Honestly, i care less about the Chinese knowing what time i go to bed, when i get up and the fact i rarely leave the house, than I do having google knowing literally everything :D

F-droid for apps, nextcloud for my contacts, calendar, bookmarks etc

Fairphone 3(+, well it's only half way between plus and non-plus)

running /e/OS (ridiculous stupid name)

it's okay - but too expensive for okay

Pixel 4a 5G with GrapheneOS. Though it's finally starting to hold less and less of a charge, so I may "upgrade" to a newer yesteryear Pixel model.

a Sony z3c running Firefox OS and a Samsung A5 running Tizen.

Galaxy S9 off eBay and put e/os on it. Can also buy them flashed https://murena.com/products/smartphones/

Oneplus 6 with LineageOS!

Lineage on a Pixel. AOSP is great without gapps

I don't like GrapheneOS' creator... I'd rather use LineageOS on my Pixel 3... I also have a stock Pixel 5

Poco F3, for now, with stock ROM but uninstalled all useless and google stuff

Pixel 5 with GrapheneOS

Debloated hardened Huawei with Invizible Pro and Firefox with uBO hard mode.

OnePlus 8T, running Lineage with MicroG.

Probably not as privacy focused as some, but TrackerControl keeps some of it in check.

Currently a Pixel with an anonymous custom ROM, although I've got a PinePhone on my desk I need to test more.

Cell phones are incompatible with privacy. Any phone necessarily constantly sends your location to your cell provider just in order to work. But even if that's true, there's no reason to also let someone else be the remote administrator for a sensor node with a camera and microphone that you carry everywhere. Running a mobile OS with a universal backdoor is bad times.

Pixel 7 pro + graphene. Like others I got the phone for the OS, though I'm quite concerned now that I've seen the drama between the former lead dev and Louis Rossmann (and others).

Fairphone 3+ with ungoogled lineage OS

A little late, but Pixel+GrapheneOS.

E: bought the phone for the OS. GrapheneOS/CalyxOS are the ones recommended by the community.

I bought a Pixel 7 for the sole purpose of GrapheneOS. I really have no complaints. It Just Works and I feel slightly less uncomfortable carrying a phone with me.

POCO F3 with LineageOS for microG

Nothing is perfect. Even GrapheneOS has been accused of "sharing telemetry" by individuals (no source on that, just read random comments on different forums so you can probably ignore it).

Even without rooting your phone there are ways to degoogle a bit. I have a Crosscall phone (French brand) that is essentially vanilla Android with 4 OEM apps. I used adb to debloat it.

I recommend doing this especially if you don't have a Google account or don't want to use the Google stuff. Saves on battery. Then thow on some of the standard replacement apps (qksms, OSM, whatever).

There is a slew of DNS/host blocking apps/filters (think netguard, blockada) or monitoring apps like Trackercontrol that help as well if you can't root or put Lineage, eOS, GrapheneOS, Divest, iode, Copperhead, etc. on your phone.
