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!!!

I had a oneplus 6 for a while and used lineage. It worked great and had an expansion slot.

oh yes! I'm considering an older Oneplus! They seem to have great support. The Oneplus One is still officially supported!

Meanwhile, I have a Oneplus 7t and can't find support for custom roms. I was actually considering a Pixel with GrapheneOS.
