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.

    Thanks. I need to have root to remove the pre-installed applications and remove ads.

      You can use adb to uninstall pre-installed apps and private DNS and browser AdBlock to avoid ads, you don’t need root for that, I have some other good recommendations of devices you can buy if you will not need to root it.
