Recommendations: Purism, Pine Phone, Fairphone, and Google Pixels for privacy tech, however if you're just looking for a generally good experience by default the Samsungs are really nice 😁👌.
I say this as a current Apple user planning to transition to another phone in the future, I also own a Samsung galaxy note 10+ plus, and a Google Pixel (that's currently broken).
Phones to be skeptical of but maybe research blackphone, unplugged, and freedom phone.
DN8 just found this one while researching, be skeptical also.
