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.

    IDK where you from mate but you should look for something good at AliExpress, you will have to wait some time cos it’s an international buy but it’s where I personally shop for electronic stuff. Plenty of refurbished stuff from 3-5 years ago at very good price, good luck 🙏🤞

    Edit: why did you specially look it can be rooted?

    What about these:

    Let me know what do you think about these options.

      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.
