You don't want the cheapest. Better something nice like a Xiaomi Mi A1. It is part of the Android One program (clutter free stock Android, timely updates) and doesnt cost a fortune.

I saw their webpage, and this jumped out at me:

> full metal body

Metal bodies fuck with my synesthesia—the feeling of metal on my fingers makes me ill—so that's a total dealbreaker. It has to be plastic.

I can relate to that. My SO has it too, her auditory and tactile senses being affected. Q: A nice PU bumper doesn't help either?

It looks like it can be rooted with Magisk, which makes it pretty appealing (at least if Xiaomi post factory images you can flash yourself).
