Unfortunately most of the "privacy phones" really aren't that great of a smartphone experience due to them running Linux which isn't nearly as developed for smartphone use as Android or iOS.

I personally use a Samsung Fold 4, and run Firefox w/ add ons, DDG for search and app tracking protection.

Apple likes to boast about how iOS is more privacy focused than Android, though. Grain of salt.

Yeah I peeked at Linux phones and they just don't seem to be handy for day-to-day usage. And I definitely do not trust Apple with my data haha

Fun fact: Android uses the Linux kernal. So they are also Linux phones.
