Hey there! i currently have a Samsung Galaxy A55 and i want to try one of the privacy focused phones. But idk which is the best i could try.

My findings:

Fairphone with /e/OS, but ive heard /e/OS is apparantly not that secure.
Google Pixel with GrapheneOS, but with this one I still need to buy from Google.
Linux phones, but I'm concerend they dont support all the apps i want to use.

that being said, can you use MicroG instead of Google Services for ALL apps? or does it only work for things like Revanced?

edit:

i also use a Samsung smartwatch with Google Wallet so would this still be possible with an alternate OS?

ebay screwed me over when i tried to get my last fairphone and it's obvious why we should stay away from amazon.

where else can I buy?

Is there a website for this? Google doesn't show anything related to buying phones
