Get a Google Pixel. Use GrapheneOS.

I doubt they make much, if any money, on the hardware. I paid ~$100 for my P7 w/ P5 trade-in
They make the most open and secure hardware, full stop.

The Murena 2 doesn’t have a secure element like Pixels do with their Titan M chip. That is also the reason why the Graphene devs don’t bother with porting their OS to phones like the Fairphone or Murena. The only Android phone that can be as secure if not more secure than an iPhone is the Google Pixel running GrapheneOS. Edit: You can watch this video to learn why a secure element is important for maintaining good security: https://piped.video/watch?v=yTeAFoQnQPo

AFAIK the Titan M series is by far the strongest implementation that can be found in a phone. I’m not aware of any other commercially available chip that has support for so many security features like Insider Attack resistance, the Weaver API, Android Strongbox, etc. Also, there are still many phones on the market, that don’t have a secure element at all.
…yes? Was there something you wanted to add?

Better than giving them your data. They can’t use your money to ruin your life, but they can very well do that with your data.

It definitely can. But Google won’t randomly spend money in order to ruin your life. They will do that with your data though as can be seen in many unfortunate cases like these: https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/google-geofence-location-data-avondale-wrongful-arrest-molina-gaeta-11426374 https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/21/technology/google-surveillance-toddler-photo.html And it’s not just Google. Any data you expose can and will at some point be used to absolutely fuck you. The Snowden leaks have proven this.

Pixels are too expensive. And you will support private data hungry evil company.
Compared to Apple?
Compared to the other Android-based phone manufacturers.
Privacy shouldn’t be so expensive.
My Pixel 6a was 300 bucks, it’s not that expensive and I get security updates until 2027. With 8th Generation Pixels even getting 7 years of updates.
Pixels are the only phones that allow you to fully erase everything related to Google and at the same time keep good security.
