    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.
