I was gonna buy a pinephone, but i want to know if this is really the best choice. I’m a real fan of the hardware switches. Any recommendations?

thanks, any idea what to buy instead? I’m okay with buying an android, and just flashing myself.

A pixel phone or a fairphone 4. The pixel 3a has alot of support but is old, and the fairphone 4 has alot of support and is newer. Depends on your preference

The Librem phone from Purism is like Pinephone, but a bit more cohesive and with better specs. Also more expensive, but if you’re considering a Linux phone, then Librem might be a better choice

A pixel phone, and then you can put any rom on it.

GrapheneOS gives you the most control.

Check in again around the Holiday season. Chances are that Google will sell at or close to a loss.
