The funny/great thing about Google Pixels is that you can de-Google them really well. I bought this refurbished from GiffGaff (£279) just over a year ago, and it's been running CalyxOS ever since (with automatic updates - now on CalyxOS 5.7.0). No Google bloatware/spyware trash, no forced Google apps, no logging into the Play Store etc etc.
Alas, I'm on a neverending quest for the perfect dumbsmartphone, and I've just managed to get LineageOS working on a Jelly Star so I'm switching to that. For now.. I used the Pixel with a really minimal launcher that listed my few apps plus gestures left/right to messages/browser, which got pretty bloody close to the dumbsmartphone ideal (see pic). I could still doomscroll with it if I really wanted to though. Hence the new tiny phone.
Anyway, this is Calyx: https://calyxos.org/ - defo check them out if you have a Pixel or a Fairphone.
I can switch it back to the standard Android OS if you like (#lame), but I would heartily recommend giving this a go first. Totally up to you. Phone itself is in excellent condition, colour is 'Stormy Black' and it comes with the lovely Otterbox Defender.

Finally upgraded tents, so parting ways with this trusty steed. Seen it's fair share of action so pretty rough around the edges, but still usable. Marks and scuffs, a couple tatty repairs, some tiny puncture holes and a fairly fucked outer zip with failing seams. This makes the front door basically unclosable by use of the zip, which is fine in dry weather - not so fine in heavy rain. Adding some strong velcro might be a way around this. Used on the South Downs Way last year despite all the battle scars. Can pitch as an inner just fine too, or inner plus tarp etc.
I did reach out to Big Agnes and they said they could repair the zip issue in house for a "reasonable, minimal fee" - but it meant sending to the US so I never bothered. Probably fixable in a nice way if your handy with a sewing machine.
Includes Big Agnes stuffsacks, nice DAC Featherlite poles and 9 pegs (7 standard plus 2 lightweight DAC ones + whatever the little tube thing is?).

Couldn't find any pics of it set up, so added a couple from google as an example.

Jelly Star is my only phone these days. Absolutely tiny.
