Are there any Android distributions that work on cheap, easily-available smartphones, and that still try to do the best they can to protect the user's privacy and security, without being absolutist about it?
("Cheap" here means "$100 or under", to be clear)
Please do not bother responding with things like "you can probably find a broken Pixel for under $100 and then repair it" because then you really have not understood the assignment, and this is completely unrealistic for poorer folks in particular
@joepie91 also unrealistic for everyone not living in global north where it's much harder to find google pixels cuz the market presence is either low or not there at all
@mynameistillian Yep, exactly
@joepie91 are you excluding only broken phones or all second hand phones?
second hand is annoying if you need something in bulk of course, but new stuff tends not to have third party support at all for a while
