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!!!

    OnePlus, POCO / Xiaomi and older Pixels.

    Note that Poco do not make their own phones, but licence and tweak Redmi phones. So you might not see ROMs for the Poco version because they are listed under the original Redmi version.

      Yeah I know they’re all Xiaomi, but I haven’t looked in detail at what they offer, but good tip. In any case the idea is to go by popularity, so if there’s very similar phones from both brands I would go for the one that seems to have a more active community
