Thank you so much.
I mailed your comment to myself in order to dig deepeer into the subject.
Android with Google services is just dead in the water for me (I'll be damned before hooking the arguably most private device into the Google spy machine) and so Apple seemed the only viable alternative.
But if I can run a Google free alternative without too much headache (and at a reasonable price) I'm all for it.
You can see officially supported devices on the https://download.lineageos.org website
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
Using a site like 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 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_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-cus... the Xiaomi Redmi Notes are not bad either for a cheaper phone.
