I have a second phone, an older Pixel 5 running GrapheneOS. It’s a very good private phone option.

Full node recommendation will depend on your technical abilities and what specifically you want from your node.

Also depends on if you’re gonna build it DIY or buy a pre-built node in a box.

Great info. Definitely would be going pre-built route for the node.

Will you be using samourai wallet? Do you want to run a lightning node?

Samourai wallet which requires an Android phone I think.

I’m ordering a Pixel 6A for 299 bucks.

Yes a lightning node will be needed as well.

you can run an android emulator on any computer

no phone needed

Not as secure. Pixels have secure elements for the seeds.

RoninDojo is the best for Samourai wallet. However, it doesn’t support running a Lightning node out of the box. If you NEED Lightning too, I’d recommend Nodl.
