What other hardware supports open source like Graphene?

I want a fairphone 4 with either e/OS or Ubuntu touch. It's still a little out of my price range though.

I would love to run grapheneOS on my phone, but I'm not willing to pay Google to not use Android.

Ok this is gonna blow your mind, you can buy used or refurbished Pixels

And then you indirectly pay google as you fund the people who buy google phones every time a new one comes out.

Yes it is the best way to buy a google phone, but you are still supporting google in most cases.

Arguably, 2nd hand private sellers would have bought it anyway and you are just saving e-waste at that point

Eh, the 2nd hand sellers also wouldn't be buying if they couldn't sell them.

I would think that private buyers buy a phone they are gonna use and then sell it once they don't use it anymore 🧠

I was thinking of the shops that buy used and resell them.
