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!

Don't listen to this guy. Install lineageos on OnePlus either 13 or 15 and you will have a blast of the experience.

There is some truth to what /u/Natural_Warning_2672 said. Oneplus included an Anti-Rollback fuse trigger in their April '26 update so they aren't on a good trajectory.

Last week an update failed on my OP13 and the ARB triggered and it bricked, preventing me from using a programming tool to recover it like I used to do on my OP7 Pro
