I got true privacy with a Pinephone at $200. A Librem 5 it's at $799 and Liberty Phone at $1999. True privacy is not a hardened OS that blocks trackers actively. true privacy is avoiding running that trackers in first place. Graphene OS is useless for privacy if user install Whatsapp on it. Degoogled Android can be useful in some cases (i used Lineage OS without gapps add-on for some years), but Signature 27 overprice cannot be justified when its main promise is done much better by cheaper devices. I use a Pinephone as my main smartphone and i don't need Android apps at all on my main device, because i have an Android device for banking apps, with hardware hardening tricks like covering microphones and cameras, keeping that secondary device turned off unless i need using banking apps
