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?
Jolla Phone and Sony Xperia with Sailfish OS Pixel with GrapheneOS Fairphone with (multiple options) PinePhone (not recommended, old tech)
this Jolla phone seems pretty cool. do u think it would support a samsung smart watch?
The newest info I found was from march but back then the answer was no.

I’m pretty sure you’re stuck with Garmin (or AsteroidOS but this isn’t really an option) when it comes to smartwatch on degoogled Android phones.
According to the Supported Devices list Sony Xperia 10 IV doesn’t have AppSupport (running Android apps) yet but when it arrives I’m curious to try it.
The Jolla Phone C2 is way too large for my taste (I consider the 10 IV to be slightly too large tbh) and I can find no info on the max screen brightness and I don’t want to end up with another device I can’t use properly when the sun shines (FairPhone 4 is barely usable outside in the sun).
Have you tried Sailfish OS yourself and if so what’s your thoughts?
