Yah, thats why you slap GraphenOS on it before it leaves the lot. All phones spy on you of you dont gut the OS, because there is nothing left that hasent been enshitified.
Right now, GraphenOS requires a pixle due to hardware limitations. Some time next year they are planning on testing Snapdragon support which will greatly expand the number of phones that can use it.
Pixel? By google? I can’t imagine they aren’t collecting a ton of data on users. It’s thier whole business model. I don’t know about the others, but by including the pixel I am dubious if the others are any better than samsung.
Pixels are just bad hardware. 3 models got software updates that destroy battery life and more issues. No DAC ever worked properly on my 6a. They did gave me $100 for replacing the battery but I bought an s25. The Samsung has great hardware, software is less good than the pixel.
Don’t buy any Samsung devices, got it.
But what options are there for non tech savvy people. Apple isn’t any better.
Fairphone or a Google Pixle (optional GraphenOS, ive had non-tech people install it with no issues)

I’ve got a Motorola, it probably still has spyware but at least it’s cheap, durable, and has a decent battery.
OnePlus, Pixel, Sony, Sharp.
