Best phone for the near future? (lemmy.zip)

Yo yo!

I have very little technical knowledge so please excuse any senseless mistakes.

I want a phone that I can use that is private and secure for the next couple of years. I understand that new android phones will be made differently so I can't side load (whatever that means, I just know it is important). I have an iPhone 12 rn but I'd rather leave the iOS ecosystem. Rn I'm typing this message on a pixel 3.

Is a pixel 3 old enough to still be a safe and secure phone that I can side load apps on in the future?

Sick I’ve never heard of that one before. It seems like we have good options to choose from for phones and OS’s

I for one look forward to taking my LUKS encrypted PinePhone thru US customs

Just have to pick the Lock Screen image. Right now I'm leaning towards Fountainhead Charlie
