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!!!

pixel 5 is end-of-life. This is the support cycle for GrapheneOS: https://grapheneos.org/faq#device-lifetime

If someone can't afford buying pixel 6a then getting something that works with Calyx/Divest is probably better.
