Howdy folks, I’ve been working on getting more privacy, and I want my phone to be next. I just wish that the pixels and fairphones were cheaper, especially the fair phone. I know grapheneOS can be considered one of the more secure builds, but are there other more budget friendly devices known stateside that can run alt OSs?

GrapheneOS isn't one of the more secure builds, it's the most secure. A used previous gen Pixel can be had for a very low price. The 10a was also recently released for $500 new. Pixel 9 pro used is around $400. Pixel 8 pro used is around $300. I don't know if a more budget friendly option exists without a contract.
