I broke my phone a few months ago and I hadn’t use a phone since I didn’t need it until now. I’m willing to buy one that’s around under 500$. I’m thinking of getting google pixel maybe, any recommendations?

I would use an old phone anytime if It’s better for privacy. but battery life is important too for usability, I don’t think those old batteries will last…
Maybe that is correct, but you can still buy new batteries for those models and swap them (unlike with most new phones) and on the second hand markets these phones are so cheap that you could buy another one so you can use it to charge an empty battery, after putting the other full battery in the main phone. If you would want to go full Libre mode, I think they (tehnoetic.com) would remove the wifi adapter and you would have to use a usb dongle for WiFi.
cool! I’ll just strap a wifi adapter to my phone. I’ll consider using this as my main phone. as for banking and other stuff that needs gapps I’ll just buy something like motorola or fairphone with lineageos.
so, I could buy the phone secondhand and do all the blob removal work myself is that correct?

as long as I don’t have to solder anything to the phone. a day of just flashing my phone is fine.
I think I can start with this; https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/GalaxySIIIGTI9300

by the way, how would you compare this to something like a fairphone and linux phones for privacy?
