I'm on Pixel + Graphene right now.

If I this thing dies before Motorola does its GOS release, what's currently the best de-googled hardware/OS combo for like $400 bucks?

    How do you locate your phone if stolen, find my device, if not Google.... I thought about doing that step but I don't find a replacement for "Find my Device" and Wallet (NFC Payment cards) ... Otherwise I would do it. So how do you do this?

    I honestly haven't thought about it too much. I think you can get a cheapie bluetooth watch to send you an alert if its nearby.

    You can probably enable Google's find my if you want, but then what's the point of having a secure phone if Google always knows where you are?

    Not too be to defeatist about things--there may be a solution out there for you--but a lot of the conveniences of modern life require trade-offs that we are encouraged to not think about.
