Interesting article from a generalist magazine. According to it:

  • Best Preinstalled Phone: Fairphone 6 With /e/OS
  • Best for Pixel Phones: GrapheneOS
  • Best for Non-Pixel Phones: /e/OS
  • For the DIY Tinkerer: LineageOS

This post's headline (not Wired's) is a tad misleading. Even the Android without Google Services still comes from Google originally.

    You haven't yet heard of the baseband modem thing? There is some debate about whether the baseband hardware has phone-home functionality on most major brands.
