I've wasted the best part of the past hour trying to find a phone that's supported and under 200€ in the online page of a nearby shop. Not sure about the reason, there are older and newer phones in both, but never at the same time :-(

There're a lot more unofficial builds, check those.

A refurbished Pixel 4 will fit your budget and is still a great midrange phone

  But it won't receive even security updates going forward [0]. Whilst LineageOS might be able to patch any issues in Android itself, any vulnerabilities in a binary blob will not get fixed. 0 - https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/4457705?hl=en https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/4457705?hl=en

A little tip: follow the XDA blog label LineageOS in your RSS reader. I've found it the easiest way to know which devices have been ported officially. Devices get added all year long, but LineageOS only mention them in their blog in the roster section of the next version post. https://www.xda-developers.com/tag/lineageos/ https://www.xda-developers.com/tag/lineageos/ https://www.xda-developers.com/feed/tag/lineageos/ https://www.xda-developers.com/feed/tag/lineageos/

  Thank you, also to the others that suggested alternatives. I'm not much of new year resolutions, but this 2023 I'm promising myself to set some limits with our digital landlords. Always a difficult relationship, but these last two or three years have been specially infuriating: useful features that disappear for no good reason and new useless impossible-to-disable annoyances.

I’d like to know this, too. I use an android phone with an unofficial LineageOS rom for app development, but it’s getting very long in the tooth (OnePlus X), and I’m a couple versions of Android behind. I purchased that phone broken on ebay, then fixed it, so it was super cheap. I guess I’ll just browse XDA.
