          Private? Sort of. Secure? No, and obviously if you’re hacked it’s not gonna be private either. Please stay far away from Fairphone. They may be good for sustainability reasons but they can’t get their act together when it comes to making their devices even remotely secure. Not just that, they make a bunch of false promises about it.

          Stay far away from LineageOS as well since you can’t even relock the bootloader and establish secure boot.

          Seriously though, simply put, anything other than an iPhone or a Pixel running GrapheneOS is a train wreck from a security standpoint. Samsung flagship phones technically rank third but it’s a distant third. Keep in mind the vast majority of custom Android operating systems (they are not ROMs) will actually make things even worse.

            I’m looking for alternatives from the pixel drivers being removed from the AOSP.

              GrapheneOS will still be able to provide support. Google is making it more difficult but nothing that can’t be worked around.

                I mean, yes, but its more worrying like about 10+. I run grapheneos also.

                  You can read about their progress on the Pixel 10 here: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/25099-pixel-10-still-too-early-to-ask-us-when-it-will-be-supported

                  It will likely be supported, it just might take a while.
