LineageOS or CalyxOS. But Pixels are ass cheap. Bought a used 4a for 150 bucks.
U can recover everything.
Charging speed no, only if bugged, but had no huge problems with GrapheneOS yet. Doubt there will be, cause their work is godlike.
If I am ok with spending the money, is newer generally better with pixel versions or is there a version where it peaked, taking compatibility with GrapheneOS into account?
Check their website.
Old models will loose support eventually.
I own a 4a for testing and a 6a as daily driver.
The 6a is top tier performance wise. Battery lasts 1-3 days, depending on usage. And the display is great. The 4a is nice too, because of the smaller size kinda weird compared to the 6a, which is huge xD

Edit2: their discourse is also well populated and active. If you need good support, post there.
Thanks, you've given me the push to look into this more. My current phone is still doing good but I was thinking of what I would do if I needed to replace it.
Lol know of anything similar for cars?
I was a cars guy many years back, but usually just rented a nice Mercedes or BMW. Motorcycles were my real passion.
But how can I help you?
FOSS cars? xD
If you like your privacy. Go get an old car without integrated phone or navigation system. Bitches call home all the time :P
Can't really say if it's even possible to successfully deactivate telemetry and stuff in ANY car brand.
Haha, yeah just asked because my car is in the same situation, good for now but I only see bad options if I need to replace it.
I did a little bit of research and cars are beyond being doomed. Biggest problem is the propriertary part in the software.
What should work:
No sim inside the car, no bluetooth connection from any mobile phone (sound is the only privacy friendly part in there, no phonebook sharing and stuff), and a GPS jammer.
