To be fair, it's built on top of LineageOS (credit where credit is due).

Yeah, I see that. I checked out the list of supported devices, I was hoping for newer, but I figure if it's near on Lineage, maybe the newer OnePlus devices would work too. I just cant get behind $500+on used Pixels. A 12R or 13R would be preferred <$400

I tend to buy <$200usd phones and use for 4 years (so: ~$50/year). I'm on a Pixel6A now, and plan to upgrade to an 8A at EOL in summer 2027. An unlocked 8A in "good condition" is $255 now on Swappa, and would get updates until summer 2031, so that meets the $50/year metric.

I'll be interested in GrapheneOS's new partner, but I suspect only their brand new phone will work, so... I'll consider it in 2031 :)

I used to like the Pixel a line, which clocks in at around 370 EUR / 435 USD for a new 9a where I live. My next one's likely going to be a FairPhone though, because fuck Google (and it's a European manufacturer).
