buy a Huawei deviceanyone telling you to buy a backdoored pixel to install graphene or lineage are glowniggers
>>109044440iPhone or a cheapo android, nothing 4a (plastic one) if you're NOT in North America, use it only for making calls and checking emails
>>109044473ai slop (this is cyanogen after he trooned out)
>>109044524Troons are a staple of comp sci and Information technology, it's an inherently feminine field
pixel, put graphene os on it
>>109044440Pixel + GrapheneOS
>>109044543Lolthis."Computer" used to be a chick.You want manly engineering you go into metallurgy or civil engineering. 0 estrogen artificial or natural in the bridge design basement.
>>109044440pixel with graphene. don't install play services.
>>109044440buy nokia 3310
>>109044543or rather, autistic weirdos who confuse their stifled masculinity with femininity, even the great actual female accomplishments in the STEM field were from women with stifled femininity
>>109044975I'm a noTECH guy but given how information technology has wreaked havoc on society it's no wonder computer science has a lot of femoids/femoid minded persons in it
>>109044440buy a flip phone
>>109044440Google pixel 8 or later with GrapheneOS. Only option to not have preinstalled spyware and still have a private, secure and production quality operating system.
>>109044440Debloat it
>>109044440xiaomi, disable all the ad shit in settings and firewall block telemetry and you get a good phone for low prices
nobody actually runs grapheneOS btw you never see any threads on it and it's only mentioned in this kind of thread
>>109044440another jeet thread. why are these poos so obsessed with cellphones?
>>109045353Phones signal izzat in India, though it could be said of anywhere but in India an iPhone means you've made it, most people sooner or later come to the realisation that if you want to get cheap get a plastic android and if you want premium get an iPhone, everything else is just window dressing
>>109044440PinePhone
>>109044495
>>109044440>stuck in the apple ecosystemthe fuck does that mean
>>109046298It angers some people that Crapple products are consistent and just werk
>>109046320thisAlso if you have been in one ecosystem for a while you are incentivized to stay there since you like have apps and accessories etc and switching can be a pain and cost more money
>>109044440Fairphone
>>109044440Just succumb to the Apple eco system The iPhone works with everything although the real killer product is the Mac Value wise the Mac is so much better and is the only modern consumer unix system you can buy with real third party app support
>>109044440pixels are nice i have p8 and i'm really happy with itthe only thing i miss is samsung music which is objectively the best music player
>>109044440You have 3 options:1) Refurbished Pixel (8-9) with GrapheneOS. Relatively private, good performance, takes some fiddling to get quality of life features working (like payment/bank systems)2) Samsung - best hardware for the price, lots of bloat in software.3) Apple - best 'just werks' option
>>109047847>GrapheneOS>>109045746
>>109046320I had Tim Apples for years before getting a P9P XL but this phone is good enough. Nothing special, nothing too bothersome. I got it for $470 with a trade-in the Christmas after it came out and so far so good. Downside is when I thought out trading it in frivolously literally no one would give me money for it. Still, it's fine to use. I don't even notice loss of battery life yet.
>>109044495This.Generally speaking, when security states like ours and the corporations that own them outlaw a foreign product, it's because it menaces their power.People in Beijing can access my data all they want, they couldn't care less and aren't a menace, unlike the epstein class.>>109045896Glowie.
>>109047968Ze only thang goin for ze pixels is the beautiful UI, they're lagging in the camera department as well, the UI is stunning tbqh, they set the bar for Android to have a tasteful and functional UI unlike always being a scrappy upstart to iOS
>>109045388this exactly. The kind of phone you have is literally a status symbol for these primitives
Why do Anons trust GrapheneOS?You have a device with Google's hardware and their closed source firmware. Doesn't take a genius to figure out that it's 100% backdoored just as every other mainstream device.This is exactly why I'd rather utility max instead of privacy larp.
>>109044440Pixel with GrapheneOS or an iPhone, they are your only choices currently.

I'm using a Xiaomi Note 12 and works fine and it have a jack 3.5. Your welcome.
>>109050923>Why do Anons trust GrapheneOS?because the FBI is seething about it constantly
>>109044440>but also don't want to be raped by google spywareyou guys know iPhones now use Gemini rigth?
>>109044473This is the best answer.
If Lineageos isn't your thing, here a French alternative.https://murena.com/products/smartphones/
>>109044473Lineage is shit. >>109044440Just get a cheap pixel off ebay and put graphene on it. Watch some videos on how to get it all set up. If you have to have google related apps just put them in a separate profile.
>>109053435>Muh headphone jackNo one in 2026 cares about shitty 1990s features, except poor brown 3rd worlders who can afford buds

>>109054132Saar buying brahmin apple product made by desi
>>109053873gemini vs the entire os
>>109044440>don't want to be raped by google spywareBuy a Pixel [used, carrier unlocked] and flash GrapheneOS. It really is your best bet.>but muh haaardware backdoooooooorsPoC || GTFO
>>109044473>LineageOSNo Network permission, no execution hardening, no Storage or Contacts Scopes, no random PIN pad layout. No locked bootloader or full boot attestation. It's one of the least bad jokes, surpassed by OEMs in jokiness.Just get a Pixel [carrier unlocked and used], then flash GrapheneOS on it. It's what the smart money does. Only mouth breathers buy OnePuss or Samstung and try to retrofit comparatively insecure Lineage.If Lineage project was smart, they would be downstream of GrapheneOS and making images of it for other device brands and legacy devices. Instead they're simpletons.
>tensorwould get it otherwise
>>109058099whats wrong with tensor?
>>109058256>sink $900 on a phone>it performs 40% worse than everything in the same bracketAs someone who buys flagships and keeps them until they break, I can't justify it.I'd be totally down for it if apps didn't get 10% more bloated and slower per year
>>109044440i would not buy the iphone because ios will eventually become a mess of what capabilities it has in your country due to whatever rules that your country has passed to get apple to open it up.>>109058256not that i bench race my phones, but tensor has the worst performance are the worst amongst flagship phones.
lenovo chads just cant stop winningiJeets just cant stop street shitting
>>109058710>>109058541does performance really matter that much? i have a pixel 4a and it's fine
>>109058754is this the same lenovo that:- got around the eu update requirements for their phones by simply not shipping any updates at all- shipped software that highjacked the amazon app with their own affiliate codes?>>109058805it's more that they are not substantially cheaper than the apple or samsung equivalent, considering the lack of performance in comparison
>>109058805>does performance really matter that much?It does when software gets 10% slower per year and you plan to keep a phone until the battery stops chargingPlus if installing GrapheneOS didn't lock you out of a ton of apps (fuck Google), I'd be willing look past the phone's shortcomings.
>>109058805>pay premium price for inferior performance>b-B-bUt It DoEsNt mAtTeRyou are the problem
>>109044440I have a pixel 9 pro xl and its been great, would highly recommend top end pixels (especially for the camera)
>>109059449GrapheneOS is a very compelling reason. At the same time, Jewgle's anti-root crusade and (((play integrity))) are huge deterrentsI don't get how companies worse than Microsoft existHell, ARM should have standardized firmware by now so you can install any OS on it like on IBM PC compatibles. I don't know how the EU has done nothing about this
>>109053410Pixel phones are subsidized by Google because they expect to make more money back from you by collecting your usage data and sell it to advertisers. if you don't use the stock OS they actually lose money from you buying their phones.
Anyone here with Huawei and/or Vivo devices?How do you find them?With Huawei, did you have issues with it not having GMS or did you find workarounds to enable them?Just curious.I've had a Huawei Mate 20 Pro since 2018 and have to replace it soon because of the gay and retarded 3g shutdown. Still works good as new, but I need to be able to make and receive calls, and it's no longer able to.
the pixel is really nice to use of course i didn't pay msrp for it i got it for like $400Google just gives these things away no doubt it's collecting shitloads of data
>>109054132>>109054132>budsenjoy your CANCER, retard burger. Allahu akbar!
>>109044440i has a cheapo motorola phone and it has bigg battery and looks nice and andoird isnt bloated with stuff it just werks but im poor
>>109044495Who gives a fuck if China steals your data?It's not like their a bunch of child molesters like the americans or jews.
>>109053410just buy used
>>109059578I bought a used pixel 7 pro this year and the picture difference compared to every other phone I've owned is impressive. Open camera + a pixel pro is great combination.
>>109063344>picture differenceis it better picture or worse picture saar?
>>109063567The picture is much improving
