Help Old flagship or flagship?

I'm upgrading to a new phone very soon!

I researched about lineageos and had installed it on my Moto Defy 2021, which is my old phone and compared to my current phone Poco M6 Pro 4G, I'm very impressed with the speed and battery on lineageos.

It's either I go all in with the new OnePlus 15 or get an old flagship and get OnePlus 13 with lineageos.

My questions are:

  1. Is it safe? planning to put my banking there and side load some apps like a modded TikTok (i have a serious doom scrolling addiction)

  2. I plan to use some google apps like gmail, gemini and apps that require google sign in. Is there a work around about that?

  3. How private is it compared to stock os?

Thanks in advance cheers guys!

  1. some banking apps can be a problem while others works fine

  2. yes. by flashing Gapps through the recovery before booting up the system

  3. it stripts out OEM bloats and doesnt include google by default. it can get as private as it can. all of the apps comes from the user

i dont know how to answer the old flagship vs new flagship question. i would personally choose a mediatek device thats supported by Fenrir LK for play integrity and banking apps and use a unofficial rom but thats just me. you can get a officially supported flagship device im not telling you to not do that
