• us What's a good (under $500, preferably lower than $200 though) android for geeks?

  Ironically, Pixels are the best for de-Googling. GrapheneOS requires a Pixel, as does CalyxOS for the most part. If you don't want your money going to Google, a used/refurb Pixel gets around that in my opinion. Source: 10 months ago
