Hi I am wondering if using a brick phone/flip phone vs an android with grapheneOS/calyxOS is better for specifically being tracked by companies?

Purely on the fact that there is so little attack surface or any apps that can be used to track you and your location on a flip phone but there is the drawback of not having encrypted messaging. which is better and why?

    i had a flip phone w kaiOS , the biggest benefit for me was not being able to get on instagram. it felt just as bugged as any other ive had. also chris weres video on the nokia feature phones shuts them down pretty hard - not the model you linked too, but i imagine similar design philosophies

      I wish the USA carriers weren’t restricting devices that don’t have VoLTE, there were some better older options that wont be feasible going forward (next year or so).

      Thanks for the name/recommendation, hadn’t heard of his video but will check out. I used KaiOS on a fliphone for a bit, but didnt like how I couldnt change the Google based shortcuts to other things (could have been model specific, not sure if it’s that way on others).
