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.
Just to save you some time, Lineage doesn't do flip phones. https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/
Appreciate you!
No worries.
Can't recommend a phone but I had a great experience with swappa if you're in the US and open to something used. There's a couple flip phones listed.
Savin' that site for later! First I've heard of it
used SDM845 or similar phone (Poco F1, Oneplus 6/6T, etc). it should be attainable in the $50-100 region. blazing fast, good features, you can get at the battery with some finagling and thus replace it, etc.
not only does it have support for lineageOS, practically every Linux (mobian, postmarket, ubuntu touch) supports it. get the 8 GB version. when you're done using it after a few years, it can be a great home server!
if you come up short, I'd suggest going to the lineageOS site, devices page, and filter for latest version (22.2 currently). that should give you all devices with current support. then you can see what you got available locally for cheap.
another resource to research brands and unlock options, the unlock wall of shame.
I recently bought a refurbished OnePlus 6 for €75 off EBay. LineageOS works like a dream.
it's not a flip but I feel like the a used pixel6 or something may be the most straight forward w/ linage in that price rage
For YouTube Desktop App there Is FreeTube. It’s great!
Is it? I haven't been able to play a video for the last 4 days.
Thank you all for the recommendations! I've had a OnePlus in the past and liked it a good bit. The Moto and other recs are appreciated as well! I mostly use Moto, current phone is a Moto G Power 5G 2024, so it kinda sucks that it's not supported, but it is what it is. Not sure I could even root this thing if I wanted to since I got it from Cricket
Maybe a "moto g 5G 2024" using CalyxOS. I haven't used it but it's listed as supported on CalyxOS website.
They usually have great battery life but I assume you can find one for around $100
Note that calyxOS is currently halted, and instructions and downloads on their website are currently inaccessible.
As for YouTube theres alternative frontends like newpipe and invidious. Haven't used them myself though.
I use newpipe on my phone, but figured it was a mobile only project. I'll give it a look
Okey from personal experience don't get a oppo, realme, one+ . they are the same shit. You will regret buying one.
