Are there any recent Android models that have native call recording enabled in EU?
I will root the phone if necessary, but considering that Google is closing the platform down even more by making custom/rooted ROMs fail security checks, I would prefer to avoid that.
That I can't tell you. My Graphene phone broke and I'm using a Googled phone at present (bleh).
I checked Graphene's features page, but this was all I could find:
Call recording functionality within the Dialer app using modern Android storage with recordings stored in Recordings/Call Recordings and no restrictions based on region or special cases like playing a recording tone (users are still responsible for complying with their local laws).
SamFW Tool to the rescue! I changed my CSC code to INS which enabled call recording. Downside is that Samsung Pay is unreliable but not sure if that's related to this change. Personally, I'd take call recording over Samsung Pay.
I forgot to say... Samsung only! It's a basic recorder, records automatically, no audible notification as far as I'm aware (that might depend on the CSC code you use and legal requirements of that country). Playback is from within the recent calls list.
They're just files saved to some location on the phone. So it's as easy as copying or transferring any file.
That's probably because you're in a country whose CSC code allows recording.
I have now tested CSC changing with SamFW, and changing to SEK (Ukraine) enabled native call recording in a Samsung Galaxy device. The change persists even after inserting SIM card.
You can automatically record calls. No audible notifications to the other end. Files are saved to /storage/emulated/0/Recordings/Call/, so you can use other apps to copy them elsewhere.
Does it pass all of these?
What's native call recording? Like call recording with the default phone app?
I use ACR Phone by "NLL APPS" in the play store. They have you download their app store to download their ACR Helper app to run in the background, which allows the recording. But the quality of the other end's sound is based on your in-call volume. So after the call starts, I have to ensure the volume is turned all the way up. It doesn't have to be on speaker.
I haven't needed to root, or else I'd have trouble getting on certain mobile games that check my phone for root.
Native call recording, as in included in the built in caller app. I think that's the only way to record calls properly on Android after Google killed the APIs that could be used to make call recording apps before.
I don't make many calls, but I have observed the custom ROM I use, ArrowOS, has native screen and audio recording, so perhaps it also has call recording functions, and even if not, I imagine the screen/audio recording could be used for that purpose too.

GrapheneOS has native call recording without root. I haven't used it in six or eight months, but it worked last time I tried it.
