*In terms of privacy, customisation, camera quality, and battery time.

For the longest time I have only used either iPhone or Samsung. I plan on switching to Android for the next phone I get, but I find that Samsung phones are often too big for me and put too much energy on camera quality (I don’t take many photos). I have started to look into brands such as Nokia and Motorola, and I would like to know what you guys think of them. Additionally, do you suggest any other phone brands aside from them? My biggest priorities are privacy and long battery time. Bonus if the phone can run LineageOS (I have excluded Graphene as they are only compatible with Pixel phones).

Thank you for any answers. Cheers!

Which pixel is getting you that battery life? My 6 has been struggling to make it through a day on GrapheneOS recently.

6a. Though I don't use the phone that much, most of the battery is drained by Telegram FOSS.

Do you use the google play services and/or the alternate user accounts?

No, I'm Google free for at least 5 years now. I only have Aurora Store for the PS App.
I really only use FOSS apps.

If you need advices to breaking free, feel free to ask.

Ooh that might be why your battery is so good. The Google services do eat up a lot of charge it seems.

On the google free, I'm not perfect but I'm def conscious, and already am using mostly foss apps. The rest is just social media I can't really avoid. Thanks for the proposition though!
