Okay, so as the title says, I'm looking for a very cheap android phone that can support LineageOS. I know this is a stretch, but my current phone isn't compatible. I'd also prefer a flip phone, but I'll take what I can get. I'm trying to not break the bank with a phone as I'm trying to save for a car (I'm about 1/6th of the way there for a beater). Any help at all is appreciated!

Also, can anyone recommend a desktop YouTube client since they decided JS was necessary to combat whatever the fuck?

Moto G Play might be what you’re looking for. I think they’re a little over $100, but very cheap. I have one from a few years ago. They’re not bad. Their cheapness definitely shows, but they’re fine as a phone. Mine runs e/OS/, so I’m pretty sure they’d run Lineage.

I just checked. They’re $110 on Amazon for the latest model from 2024.

Edit: Check here to make sure it’s on the list. I think the Moto G 5G 2024 is the closest one on the list actually. It’s $112 on Amazon refurbished.
