In pursuit of an acceptable phone, I've eyed the Fairphone with its laudable stance on repairability in the name of eco-friendliness as well. Problem is it comes with Google's spyware (Android), a much bigger threat on privacy than anything Apple does. The solution seems to be to buy eSolutions Fairphone with de-Googled Android.
I can live without free GPS navi but I'm wondering what to do about the few cases where you need a "trusted" device (a misnomer if there ever was one), such as banking push TANs or other mobile banking TFA apps, TOTP apps, vaccination pass apps or Covid contact tracing/registration apps (I've managed to evade the latter kind of apps until now).
- danhor 5y agoFor a free GPS navi, OSMand does the job. You'll probably have to give up banking apps, while TOTP, by virtue of being a standard, has plenty of open-source implementations. The contact tracing apps in europe interoperate, you can get the CCTG app from F-Droid and it works on AOSP (also includes vaccination pass storage). There are also others available.
