The $700 you give Google for a pixel is only going to erode your privacy further and personally I wouldn't trust any device made by them, regardless of the OS.
Edit to say you are basically just rewarding their behaviour.
What device would you trust?
That's a good point and it's one I've been considering. I would've bought a second-hand phone if it weren't for the fact that the second-hand market in my country is so bad to the point it's not even worth considering.
Just get a refurbished/second hand one, many are as good as new
I think Fair phone with eos is the "least evil" option but you won't be able to use most banking apps or contactless payment.
you can use contactless payment with Curve Pay
Banking app probably depends on the app
