I have had my ZFold 4 going on 3 years now. The battery is degrading significantly and the factory screen protector is peeling off.

Google has been shitting the bed; lately it is much worse and unlikely to get better.

I'm looking to alternatives; it looks like google pixels are the most recommended (GrapheneOS, Lineage, e/OS); I am not happy about supporting Google, so will not buy new.

I wish there was a real alternative; Jolla and fairphone don't ship to my country, purism is far too US centric.

What to do..

I very much support that decision. The used phone market is overflowing and you can get yesterday's favorite for a fraction of the price. Choose which OS you want to flash first, then search for compatible devices.

I might still suggest SailfishOS; it is possible to install on select Sony Xperia devices, most notably the X10 II and X10 III. The upcoming J2 will be beefy. There are some US American users, check out the forums.

There's also Ubuntu Touch.
