I am thinking about buying a fairphone. Is it less of a privacy nightmare than your typical Android phone?

Best of both sustainability and privacy is a used pixel with grapheneos installed

Pixels are definately not as sustaineable as fairphones.

Buying a used phone does save resources and stops potential e-waste though.

Plus with an older phone there's more likelihood that an alternative OS is available.
