When i was considerong buying a fairphone, fairphones with e/os came up and wondered if it was a good option for privacy.

I do not like pixels, and would love nothing to do with that phone. I prefer my one plus and if i can keep that still have my privacy, that would be nice.

E/os can be put on different android phones my one plus included.
