    My phone my data. I’m not sure if factory reset deletes all data.

    I keep my old phones, sometimes repurpose (PostmarketOS).
    But batteries are becoming like a spicy pillow.
    E.g. Galaxy S7: screen broken by swollen battery 🙏 .

      If your phone is encrypted and you factory reset it I believe the encryption key is wiped so the data is gone (unless MI5 are really keen on spending a lot of time piecing it back together, I guess)
