I've been looking for a new phone for a while now, but trying to find one that's reasonably priced is enough of a challenge, and trying to find one that's 1-2 years old and can run Linux is a bigger one (mainly because mobile-based distros aren't widely supported). The closest I've gotten is finding phones that can run Lineage, but because it unfortunately has some proprietary components in it, I don't want my data phoning home to some company's server. While there are forks of Lineage, I haven't seen any that's 100% FOSS, aside from Replicant (which seems like a dying project IMO because of its lack of supported devices which are aging). While I could buy a random phone that came out a few months ago, and have someone help me port something like Ubuntu Touch onto it, I've heard that's a challenge as well. Because of these reasons, I'm looking for suggestions based on this criteria:
- The cost being between $200 and $400
- 1-2 years old
- Can run ungoogled Android or any mobile-based distro
- Doesn't have any proprietary software
- Doesn't use any cloud computing (/e/ has a FOSS version of cloud software, but I want my data to only be stored on my phone)
- If possible, have it run ungoogled Android or Linux out of the box
- If possible, have no OS preloaded so I can manually flash ungoogled Android or Linux onto it (which hopefully shouldn't be too hard)
