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.

With Samsung these days, it’s usually impossible to root without some sort of exploit on US models unfortunately.

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.
