NNN<p>Bonus round: if the idea of running open-source Android on your phone interests you, check-out GrapheneOS. </p><p>It mostly only runs on the Pixel series, and only while they are still supported by Google, raising costs to the $50/year range. But it is possibly the most secure phone operating system you can use.</p><p><a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/budget" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>budget</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/cellphones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cellphones</span></a></p>
NNN<p>A Pixel 6a (for example) costs $121, can run with Google support for 2 years, then will probably be supported by LineageOS for at-least another 5. This can bring cost down <$25/year... if you can keep your phone in one piece that long!</p><p><a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/budget" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>budget</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/cellphones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cellphones</span></a></p>
NNN<p>Open-source Android software called "LineageOS" can make inexpensive phones last many years (search "lineageOS devices" for compatible models). This also gives monthly security updates, and runs faster without "bloatware."</p><p>Initial install of LineageOS can require running special software to unlock the bootloader. But Pixel phones are unlocked, so are the easiest to install LineageOS on, and are so cheap, there's not much point in buying the older ones. </p><p><a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/budget" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>budget</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/CellPhones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CellPhones</span></a></p>
NNN<p>Typical phones get an annual security patch. Our family decided to use phones until 12 months after the last patch (when it would have received a patch, if still supported)</p><p>We search "end-of-life <brand>" & compare yrs vs price on Swappa. IE: a Galaxy A25 5G has 3.5 years support left (so: 4.5 years usable by our standard), and costs $163 or $36/year. A Pixel 6A costs $121 and 4 usable years (=$40/yr)</p><p>We can find supported Android phones <$50/year, or Apple for <$100/yr</p><p><a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/budget" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>budget</span></a> <br><a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/CellPhones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CellPhones</span></a></p>
NNN<p>Cell phones go out of support too fast, leaving you with the choice between "expensive & wasteful", or "insecure". </p><p>Our family uses two strategies to minimize the cost, with reasonable security: maximizing years of support per-dollar; or using open-source software.</p><p>(1/5)</p><p><a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/budget" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>budget</span></a> <br><a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/CellPhones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CellPhones</span></a></p>
