Is there a way to make a phone completely anonymous?

It seems using that one Google phone, installing graphene OS, not putting in a sim card, and using tor app is the way to go?

Please help me figure out how to make a phone as anonymous as possible.

Could one remove the camera and mics and gyro sensors on a Google pixel? Aka diy lol.

Also, they removed wifi? How does that make things more anonymous? Wouldn't that make you rely on data to use things like signal?

Still checking it out, looking now.

Because you put a anonymous prepaid data sim card , the gyro sensor can work like a mic because of that one . Signal and that phone its the best way , and when you at home Phone switch off only switch on i a big city never at a same place . Read what says Edward Snowden .

You don't have to use a sim card, just use wifi and encrypted apps, with the appropriate permissions turned off. Wouldn't that make the gyro sensor not function then?

Definitely using airplane mode and a Faraday bag are key

You can buy a google pixel 5 used for around $130. This can be flashed with Graphene OS and has a removable battery. As for a SIM card, there are a few service providers who don't do deep information checks. That means you can buy a fullz for around $15 and then sign up for that service provider under the fullz information with a prepaid loaded gift card. I would recommend taking the battery out of the phone while in your home town / home town radius area as well as a faraday cage phone bag to store it in to prevent cell tower triangulation and bluetooth tracking.

Mint Mobile is pretty easy to sign up for under fake information. Last time I tried they don't even verify any information.

To clarify this isn't fully anonymous. Nothing is fully anonymous in theory. It just depends on your threat model and how much money your advisory is willing to spend to de-anonymize you.
If they're able to turn a part of your phone into a listening device then you're already fucked and there is no point in hyper-focusing on tiny details as it will take away focus on the obvious things that the government goes for. They aren't as smart as people make them out to be and if you're not worth millions of dollars worth of investigations then they aren't going to go for some crazy exploit and instead go for low hanging security fruit.

If yuou develop your own standard of data transfer, encrypt it maybe then it could be... if the rest firmware related could be.

Maybe you could just map out 4G / 5G cell towers. Then for each cell tower siphon electricity from a nearby powerline into a Rasberry Pi. The Rasberry Pis can connect to the service tower with an anonymously boughten SIM card and then when you connect on a phone just VPN / SSH into a random Pi you setup

Such phones are arguably more secure than phones with wifi. That way your dumb ass can't hook the phone to home wifi or go surf free wifi in public places with security cameras. GSM data over anonymous pre-paid SIM in an anonymous phone is the most anonymous way to get online.
