Depends. When it comes to privacy they’re a step up from virtually all vanilla Android distributions. And if you care about things like NFC payments and banking apps working reliably (= not potentially breaking with an update to the app or OS) in general that’s your only option with Android. I’m not switching to a Pixel with Graphene, it just doesn’t do what I need my phone to do. I might switch to an iPhone if the EU actually manages to force them to cut the walled garden crap.
Yes. I also ordered another orbic wonder (probably my 5th) but this one showed up in an opened box, so I aint gunna chance it. Will use it for music. I assumed the most secure second hand phone under 400 would be an iphone.
Just ordered my first iphone. :s
Send it back. Not a good alternative

Why? Did you know about custom ROMs such as GrapheneOS and CalyxOS before the purchase?

Used pixels can easily be found for under $400, and CalyxOS supports a few Motos that can be found for under $200.
Ok
