Hi all! I’m needing to replace my aging Razer Phone 2 (I know lol) and I want to wean off of Google a bit. I’m hoping to buy a mid range phone, no more than 500 Eur and install a custom rom (preferably Lineage). The officially supported phones on the Lineage page are a bit on the older side, but do you guys have any recommendations for which phones to go for? I’m looking for something relatively popular so I can find a pretty case, and hope for a larger community and support, and I kinda need either large storage or an SD card slot.

I’m hoping for high refresh rate and somewhat large battery, but most specs are negotiable.

I was considering the Moto G Stylus or some Poco phone, but I haven´t been able to find a source of Roms for those.

Speaking of which, where do you look for roms nowadays? I used to go to XDA for my Oneplus One, but it doesn’t seem nearly as robust.

Thank you!!!

    Pixel phones, the ones with a in the Name are cheap. Especially the older models.

      Yeah, and they’re good, and you have the option of graphene too, but they all come with very little storage and no expansion

        What do you use all that storage for?

        I have photos, videos, downloaded maps, a few dozen downloaded podcasts, downloaded Spotify playlists and 149 apps and I’ve only used 99GB.
