What is the best cheap cell phones that support Lineage OS (or your perfected Privacy rom)? (lemm.ee)

I was considering getting a LG G5. Some models support an older version of LineageOS and I love the replaceable battery.

What do you recommend?

I feel like the pixel 8 is in a good sweet spot right now for remaining update support, price, features, etc.

I'm sure it varies by country but I got two upgrades from my carrier during blackfriday deals and my total monetary commitment per 256GB pixel 8 works out to $240 CAD over 2 years while lowering my monthly plan fee and increasing my data cap compared to before on my BYOD plan.

Extremely cheap for what I would argue is an ideally sized (maybe a bit big) flagship phone.

1000% worth it to get grapheneos. I've said it before and I'll say it again, its LIBERATING to feel in control of your own device again.

Edit: regarding your AA disconnects, my s10 on Samsung's stock android had disconnects too over the course of several years and many updates;, AA just kinda sucks tbh.

I got a 7a and the $300 price is already hard to swallow. Pixel 8 is still fairly new and VERY expensive, I don't see how this can be a good deal. Granted, they're not available in my country officially so no carrier plans. But even if they were - I would much prefer to buy my device outright.
