With the writing on the wall and Android becoming a locked down ecosystem this year, I’m planning to transition to a cheap Android phone.Wondering if anyone knows some good safe options that will have many years of security updates.
I’m looking to spend less than $300 and I just want to text, call, and be able to hot spot with it. I’m planning to take my laptop with me more for work and just use my phone to connect to the internet with my laptop, rather than using as many Android apps. My laptop is Linux so I can have much more control and alot of the cool Android apps have Linux counterparts.
I’ve been thinking about using my phone less and I believe that if I move to using my laptop more, then I will spend less time on the internet which would be great for phone addiction and being more present.
They all do, except like Xiaomi, it depends on which surveys you look at. I saw some higher early-life failures, but again I said secondhand to avoid giving Google money directly. That’s the GrapheneOS option, or Motorola right. I provided several other options.
