Hey there! i currently have a Samsung Galaxy A55 and i want to try one of the privacy focused phones. But idk which is the best i could try.
My findings:
- Fairphone with /e/OS, but ive heard /e/OS is apparantly not that secure.
- Google Pixel with GrapheneOS, but with this one I still need to buy from Google.
- Linux phones, but I’m concerend they dont support all the apps i want to use.
that being said, can you use MicroG instead of Google Services for ALL apps? or does it only work for things like Revanced?
edit:
i also use a Samsung smartwatch with Google Wallet so would this still be possible with an alternate OS?
regarding your edit:
From what I know neither grapheneos or e/os support google wallet.

Confirming that Graphene does not have NFC, and as such cannot support any payment system.
Running /e and Google wallet does not work
That’s what they said.
They said “from what I know” which implies uncertainty, while the response made clear, no it doesn’t work.
