Buy second-hand then. You get a cheaper phone and you donโ€™t give google a single cent. Win-Win.

My answer was more oriented towards not giving google any money but I agree with you on supporting the โ€œgood guysโ€ instead of just not supporting the bad guys.

Fairphone is great until you realize that the implementation is just bad, especially as far as security is concerned. They donโ€™t even use a current SoC and promise updates beyond Qualcommโ€™s end of life date which is a major red flag.
