A land line that I avoid using unless absolutely necessary. There is no such thing as a private cellular device.
Moto g7 play with lineageOS 20 + microg + magisk delta I'm also running adaway and blocking all the tracker activities from my apps using app manager, and of course, using the most FOSS as possible for replacing proprietary apps. It works well, but sadly this phone won't allow me to hide root and the locked bootloader, so no safetynet because of CTS verification.
Edit: if I use hardware attestation disabler on lsposed, it passes

Nothing is perfect. Even GrapheneOS has been accused of "sharing telemetry" by individuals (no source on that, just read random comments on different forums so you can probably ignore it).
Even without rooting your phone there are ways to degoogle a bit. I have a Crosscall phone (French brand) that is essentially vanilla Android with 4 OEM apps. I used adb to debloat it.
I recommend doing this especially if you don't have a Google account or don't want to use the Google stuff. Saves on battery. Then thow on some of the standard replacement apps (qksms, OSM, whatever).
There is a slew of DNS/host blocking apps/filters (think netguard, blockada) or monitoring apps like Trackercontrol that help as well if you can't root or put Lineage, eOS, GrapheneOS, Divest, iode, Copperhead, etc. on your phone.

I'm using a pixel 6a with GrapheneOs
I bought a Pixel 7 for the sole purpose of GrapheneOS. I really have no complaints. It Just Works and I feel slightly less uncomfortable carrying a phone with me.
OnePlus 8T, running Lineage with MicroG.
Probably not as privacy focused as some, but TrackerControl keeps some of it in check.
Grapheneos pixel 6a
Lineage on a Pixel. AOSP is great without gapps
Fairphone 3+ with ungoogled lineage OS
Pixel 6 GrapheneOS
Fairphone 3(+, well it's only half way between plus and non-plus)
running /e/OS (ridiculous stupid name)
it's okay - but too expensive for okay
I wish Fairphone would release a version with antennas suitable for use in NA. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Lineage on Moto G7 Plus for years now. Degoogled for years as well. De-degoogled just recently for ... reasons. And sigh it just feels ... wrong.
Pixel 4a 5G with GrapheneOS. Though it's finally starting to hold less and less of a charge, so I may "upgrade" to a newer yesteryear Pixel model.
You could replace the battery. With patience it's not terribly hard.
I believe the 4a is approaching EOL, graphene won't support it for much longer
Pixel 4XL with Lineage OS. It works mostly. The only issue I've had was saving DC metro cards to my wallet which requires Google wallet and didn't work with this rom

Hello fellow GOS peer :)
Pixel 7 for GrapheneOS
Pixel 7 pro + graphene. Like others I got the phone for the OS, though I'm quite concerned now that I've seen the drama between the former lead dev and Louis Rossmann (and others).
Lead dev stepped down from the project
I don't like GrapheneOS' creator... I'd rather use LineageOS on my Pixel 3... I also have a stock Pixel 5
GrapheneOS is a fantastic software regardless of its creator. Also didn't Daniel Micay step down?
That's good.. he might have only stepped down from lead développer position though
It was from all positions. you can read the post here :( https://grapheneos.social/@DanielMicay/110437191840640957

So does he still develop for the GrapheneOS project? I wasn't sure if he stepped down from just the social spheres or development as well.
Hoping it's just social media management because the dude is one hell of a developer, but seems to get into beef with a lot of other FOSS projects, developers, and community members. I don't exactly blame him though, given how stressful the herculean responsibility he took on must be.
Also hope he is doing well.
He also stepped down from development I believe.

Its sad how most new phones don't have a fingerprint on the back
I don't mind the inscreen ones.
