Might I recommend https://f-droid.org/packages/net.sourceforge.opencamera/ and graphene os?
Graphine makes a secure camera app you can use on any android phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.grapheneos.camera.play&hl=en_US
Isn't grapheneOS restricted to pixel phones? Those phones can get quite expensive
I picked up a 10a for $250 USD over the summer. It was just a month or 2 before the Pixel 11 models came out so probably Google was liquidating the older model inventory. It's my first GrapheneOS phone and I'm pretty satisfied so far. But I do wish Graphene was available for more brands
Search for used 8a, 9a or 10a, the regular or flagship models are a waste of money. I got my 9a new for 350€
I fot one for 200 just couple days ago. Pixel 8 though.
200? of which currency?
Pixel 8 is a good phone, but it isn't available in my region. The 8a is though, for a reasonable price. If the OS runs well enough I don't really care about how old the phone is. Newer ones are a bit too expensive.
Last time I'd checked the only Pixel phones available weren't supported, it's somewhat viable now.
200 euros. Woth 1 year warranty and 14 d return policy in case I don't like the phone. Check grapheneos.org page for supported pixels. Pixel 8 will be supported till 2030 if remembering right. At least till 2029.
