Right, but you can assume google knows the imei and other hardware details, so they can probably link you to your identity on other platforms.
There is also the baseband issue. It is currently assumed that manufacturers could have access to snoop your LTE/5g and WiFi traffic, because the software running most phone baseband units is closed and not audited.
So you are probably private, but if you really want a phone with no Big Brother, you should get one from Pine64 or Jolla.
I’d love to. I bought an early pinephone and after about a day of trying to make it do basic functions I gave up. I’d LOVE to have a real Linux option but in my experiences so far we’re not there yet. I don’t see a better option than Graphene at the moment- it’s that solid.

Yes, I agree. We might not have rock-solid solutions, but less google is better.
I keep a oneplus 6t just to test Linux phone options.
