My son’s birthday is coming up in March and I want to get him a new phone. The guys at the electronics stores recommended me this one but I haven’t heard of OnePlus before so I don’t know.

    Is there something about OnePlus that I don’t know? I care about my privacy but have a OnePlus phone, so genuinely would appreciate some education if I’ve missed something.

    Secondly, are there alternative android phones with better privacy reputations?

      most of the normal recommendations are around getting some hardware close to supportable like a pixel and throwing a non OEM OS on it like lineageOS etc.

        Iirc OPs usually get LOS support pretty quick? Granted my last OP was an 8 pro so it’s been a minute.
