I decided to support AES with my penny, so I want to buy a phone that has 3+ years of support and is good at privacy. I was a Galaxy user with a Lineageos rom before, but I think even stock roms can be debloated.

Lemmygrad (and hex) must be the only place with pro-China folks who are also enthusiastic about privacy, so I’m asking here

    What is AES? Why do you specifically want a Chinese phone? De-googled Pixels are probably best for privacy, other than one of the non-Android (plain Linux) phones

      1. AES means Actually Existing Socialism.
      2. If having to buy a phone from any sort of corporate entity, they may prefer a Chinese owned entity because of reason 1.
      3. I agree with that, and will provide more options than with a plain Linux phone.

        Ah okay, I was thinking of “Advanced Encryption Standard” and was very confused about how it fit into that context
