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.

    I’ve always been happy with OnePlus devices.

    Their build quality and specs are good for the price and they are often well supported by LineageOS.

    However I think its personal preference.

    So I’d say look for any brand which you like,
    and check if there is a device available within your price range, with specs that seem sufficient for you.
