I feel like right now there are 3 good phone brands, Apple for phones with good privacy and security out of the box with minimal tweaking, Google's Pixel line for amazing security and unrivaled privacy if you flash GrapheneOS (also security on Chromebooks is the best for any laptop period but they have like no privacy so its for a very specific use case), and Sony for small phones if your focus isn't in privacy or security but just for like a good all-arounder.

Maybe its just me - I dunno
