I was gonna buy a pinephone, but i want to know if this is really the best choice. I'm a real fan of the hardware switches. Any recommendations?

It is fun to play with, but it is not suitable to use as a primary phone. It has poor battery life and is very slow.

thanks, any idea what to buy instead? I'm okay with buying an android, and just flashing myself.

A pixel phone or a fairphone 4. The pixel 3a has alot of support but is old, and the fairphone 4 has alot of support and is newer. Depends on your preference
