MODERATORS
Even with tariffs, you should be able to pick up a used Pixel for a much better price than new.
They can run Graphene (which seems to be the best for privacy) or Lineage (which isn't privacy focused like Graphene, but doesn't have Google crap baked in).
I'm in the US and can get Pixel 5's for about $150. That's way less than any new phone.
Otherwise, take a look at what Lineage currently supports, check those phones out at phonearena.com and gsmarena.com.
Just to confirm @Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 's comment above, refurbished Pixel 6's start around £106 on ebay etc. Might be even cheaper on somewhere like Vinted. Just make sure you flatten it before putting Graphene on it.
Flatten it?
Wow, the 6 is the new price point. Impressive.
So tariffs and prices aren't the reason you don't want a Pixel?
Maybe you should clarify.
