I need to change phones. It seems the holy grail of privacy on phones is GrapheneOS, but it only works on pixels, which are huge compared to my already awkward iPhone 13 mini (5.2 x 2.5 in / 132 x 64 mm).

Is there any phone out there that is fast, small, and easily supports a privacy OS?

Thanks!

      Those were both my picks for a phone after mine started getting old. I started looking to buy the zenfone during the whole OEM unlock predicament, and it wasn’t available in my region, so I didn’t go for it. I then also discovered the Sony xperia 5 v, but it was out of my budget (although it’s definetly my dream phone.) RIP my galaxy s10e, best small phone out there fr 🕊️

      Yeah… Zenfones were nice. Sad that ASUS didn’t put more effort into this product line.
