Hi,
I will certainly buy a new android phone in the next month and I will need help choosing which one.
My requirements : has support from LineagesOs, ability to root, good battery, NFC and Google Pay should work even after root, camera should be at least OK, price under 200€ (or even 150€). I have seen devices in that range that satisfy almost all the requirements.
My current phone is Mi Mix 2 from 2019 and still usable but battery drain in one day even though I don’t use it that much. I changed battery recently but nothing changed so I am always carrying an external battery. So a similar phone with bigger battery and good camera can be a good candidate. I always bought Xiaomi devices and I don’t know how are the other brands.
Check which devices are supported under the LineageOS(forMicroG) device lists:
If it’s under there,
then LineageOS(forMicroG) will be supported officially.
Magisk (root) should work on any of these devices:
Additionally, I like to use the compare functionality of GSMArena to compare device hardware specs (battery, camera, nfc, etc):
