Since I need to run a few apps that won’t work on LineageOS (because dumb developer security stance), I need to buy a “regular” android device that includes all the google “services”.

Ideally, it should be a cheap second-hand phone that will still receive security updates for a long time.

Are there bands that are better (well, “less worse”) than others from a privacy perspective?

    I’m not really sure, apart from fdroid needing permission to install apps. I don’t use fdroid, at least not directly. Most of my apps are installed through obtainium.

      I figured it out. It was trying to route traffic through Tor for some reason which I have no need for. Problem solved, thanks though.
