Ideally, I’m looking for an Android or LineageOS device with at least 6GB of RAM, compact enough for portability, and capable of running without Google Apps (GAPPS). I’m open to a tablet or flip phone design as well. Since my phone serves as my primary tool for browsing, mobile computing, and communication throughout the day, reserving my laptop and desktop for evening or specialized tasks, performance is key. USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode would be a valuable bonus, though not a strict requirement.

    A developer focused phone like the pixel line would probably make the most sense since they support the unique features you support, and GrapheneOS does have the option to never use the Google suite or to use it in a solid sandbox.

    Personally, haven’t regretted my pixel 9 with graphene.

    I use a Pixel 6 Pro with GrapheneOS, if you decide to go that route I would do at least a Pixel 8 or wait for the GrapheneOS phone release.

      That’s my take on it, too.

      It’s far from perfect and costly for the hardware (but for understandable reasons), but hey, it’s Fairphone. Rocking my FP4 here.

    I got a Fairphone 4 recently, little over £200 second hand because CEX only had the 256GB version in stock at the time, 128GB would have been a bit cheaper.

    Pretty sure this one doesn’t do display port over USB-C though. I use comaps, OSMAnd also works but ran really slow for me on a previous device so I switched and decided may as well stay with comaps if its lighter weight even if I don’t need that as much anymore.

    Lineage os is android. You just said I want a want a Toyota or a Corolla…

    Anyway I suggest Nothing Phones. Unlockable bootloaders from the factory, no phoning home required. And great hardware.
