    Buy second-hand then. You get a cheaper phone and you don’t give google a single cent. Win-Win.

        Fairphone is great until you realize that the implementation is just bad, especially as far as security is concerned. They don’t even use a current SoC and promise updates beyond Qualcomm’s end of life date which is a major red flag.

        My answer was more oriented towards not giving google any money but I agree with you on supporting the “good guys” instead of just not supporting the bad guys.
