Getting rid of Oneplus Nord phone, (hate it, it's shit).

Is the reset option enough to properly wipe it or do I need to use an Android equivalent of Dban to clean it?

Just traded mine in back to Google and they just advised a factory reset. Looking online that method apparently wipes everything.

factory reset is enough

pretty sure all modern phones are encrypted, so if anyone wants to get your stuff after a factory reset its probably easier from them to have a face transplant and a full set of documents to impersonate you, than getting anything off it

Did a factory reset of my 4a, sent back to Google. Made sure banking stuff etc couldn't be accessed and called bank to ensure.
