I have been trying to decide on which Android device that I need to buy that supports official versions of Lineage and it would be nice if it could be easily repaired as well.
My favorite phone so far has been a six year old Motorola.
The battery lasts for several days without a charge and doesn’t send any data out that isn’t necessary according to tcpdump and my PiHole.
(Which is probably why the battery lasts so long)
Google Android is an absolute dumpster fire and cheap devices often come with preinstalled malware and rootkits abd even expensive Samsung devices are loaded with too much bloat.
But my old Moto is not on the approved list so I have to compile a new OS which was fun but gets old real quick.
