Well there’s a lot more companies that produce flip phones than two and I’ve heard good things about a couple brands

I’ve been thinking about it for a while. Back when I started getting more serious about internet privacy I had the idea of switching to a de-Googled phone but when I found out that’d be expensive as hell I had a second idea to get a flip phone and spread out what I use it for across devices. My laptop for services like YouTube and streaming, MP3 player for music, a digital camera for my camera, etc. Also expensive but the individual devices are cheaper so I can more easily slowly chip away at it, first thing I’m getting is an MP3 player because I got my Dad to buy me one for Christmas.

Since my Dad wasnt able to get me a Google Pixel I’m honestly considering a dumbphone at this point. Make my Samsung a glorified MP3 player.

For me its less “I have nothing to hide” and more “I am literally forced to use this because I have no other option”

Samsung because I cannot afford a Google Pixel that still supports GrapheneOS, I didn’t get the money I needed

Steam because I can’t play my games without them

Amazon cause that’s the only online store my parents will buy from 99% of the time

And Discord because all my friends are on there and I cant get them to move, plus there’s currently not a very good Discord alternative imo

I’ve heard that there’s phones that use Linux, so I imagine once modifying Android isn’t an option focus will probably go into making that more viable.
