I'm frustrated. I'm a long time fan of Motorola. Their phones have been pretty simple and easy to remove junk apps. Recently I got an update that forced perplexity on my phone.

  1. Buy Pixel 9a (great value among new, 120Hz smartphones)
  2. Activate, setup service
  3. Unlock bootloader
  4. Install grapheneos using their install guide
  5. Lock bootloader

Good budget(ish) switch to get a good phone, privacy, security, and AOSP experience.

    Great value my ass, I can barely get a used pixel 8a for 300€ in the EU. Redmi 4x from 2017 costed 160€ new and had all the features of phones at the time (except NFC). I'm still considering a pixel just for GrapheneOS, just because it's that good compared to LOS, I use on the Redmi.
