Just note you do need to think about device support when using something like LineageOS. You can see officially supported devices on the https://download.lineageos.org https://download.lineageos.org website https://stats.lineageos.org/ https://stats.lineageos.org/ will give you a bit of an idea of the activity for certain models. Checking out the forums for unofficial device activity is also a good idea https://forum.xda-developers.com https://forum.xda-developers.com Using a site like https://www.gsmarena.com/ https://www.gsmarena.com/ can be useful for comparing specs. I would also suggest looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks when determining which phone to buy. For me, I wanted one that supported Band 28 700MHz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APT_band_plan_in_the_700_MHz_band https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APT_band_plan_in_the_700_MHz_b... So It's a good idea to look at phones. The OnePlus phones tend to have good support, I think in part because of the developer seed program https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-developer-program-custom-rom-kernels/ https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-developer-program-cus... the Xiaomi Redmi Notes are not bad either for a cheaper phone.
