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!!!

    yeah, the relocking is honestly a very strong argument and I’ve thought about it. But like 128gb and no other version or expansion? Gurl…

      I have the 7 Pro, which is a bit higher priced than you’re looking for but I do have 256gb of storage. Which initially was saddened by not having expandable storage, but switched from usi lng lossless flac files to using a streaming service.

      Used Pixel 7 Pro or 7 any other variant may be viable depending on where you’re at

        yeah, I guess I was looking at a series that all come with 128, but even a 6 pro with more storage is still out of my budget currently 😭
