Hey there! i currently have a Samsung Galaxy A55 and i want to try one of the privacy focused phones. But idk which is the best i could try.

My findings:

  • Fairphone with /e/OS, but ive heard /e/OS is apparantly not that secure.
  • Google Pixel with GrapheneOS, but with this one I still need to buy from Google.
  • Linux phones, but I’m concerend they dont support all the apps i want to use.

that being said, can you use MicroG instead of Google Services for ALL apps? or does it only work for things like Revanced?

edit:

i also use a Samsung smartwatch with Google Wallet so would this still be possible with an alternate OS?

    Not sure what you’re quoting but in Sweden the Mobile BankID is used as a digital ID on company sites and apps too, so even with a physical bank security device that gives you access to your bank website you’re still locked out of a lot of services in Sweden.

      yes without BankID alot of services are unaccessible. atleast internet purchases are possible with a physical device the swedish banks hand out. used to be cardreaders, now just a device scanning a QR code then prompts a personal code and returns a code.
