Which phone should I get? (lemmy.ml)

Ideally, I'm looking for an Android or LineageOS device with at least 6GB of RAM, compact enough for portability, and capable of running without Google Apps (GAPPS). I'm open to a tablet or flip phone design as well. Since my phone serves as my primary tool for browsing, mobile computing, and communication throughout the day, reserving my laptop and desktop for evening or specialized tasks, performance is key. USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode would be a valuable bonus, though not a strict requirement.

Modern Pixels are pushing it on portability but maybe I'm just an old man yelling at clouds. My LG G8 is too big for me to fully use one handed and the Pixel 9a that should be delivered later this week is even bigger and I can't help but wonder if I just spent a lot of money on a downgrade. I don't want something bigger in my pocket but that's what I just bought. D:

Graphene on my Pixel tablet has been petty great though, I'm still a bit worried because the phone needs to be able to actually do phone things.
