Howdy folks, I’ve been working on getting more privacy, and I want my phone to be next. I just wish that the pixels and fairphones were cheaper, especially the fair phone. I know grapheneOS can be considered one of the more secure builds, but are there other more budget friendly devices known stateside that can run alt OSs?
There’s the PinePhone and Pinephone Pro.
Other than that, there’s LineageOS supported phones
Oh shit I forgot the pinephone, that’s still such a cool device! Thank you for the suggestion!

Ooh that GitHub is solid, didn’t realize nothing phones allowed that bootloader unlock, but damn it doesn’t have the newer ones on there for lineage support. I appreciate this!
GrapheneOS isn’t one of the more secure builds, it’s the most secure. A used previous gen Pixel can be had for a very low price. The 10a was also recently released for $500 new. Pixel 9 pro used is around $400. Pixel 8 pro used is around $300. I don’t know if a more budget friendly option exists without a contract.
