Yesterday my old Fairphone 3 decided to go for a dive on the kitchen sink and I apparently didn’t give it enough time to dry it out. The display now won’t turn on. I went to their website to look for a replacement but they seem to be “out of stock”. So much for repairability…

I’m a bit disappointed with the Fairphone overall (that would be for a separate discussion), and I’m looking for other alternatives.

I don’t really need a powerful device, but I’d really like to have a headphone jack, a SD slot and above all the ability to install alternative ROMs. I was using /e/OS (aka MurenaOS) but I’d be fine with anything that lets me use F-Droid and micro-g instead of Google Play Services.

I know that there are “comparison websites” out there that can filter devices by features and/or price, and I know that Murena and LineageOS sites provide a list of the devices they support, but I haven’t found any suite that can include both. Does such a site exist?

    Don’t know that kind of site but i would bet Google Pixel phones have one of the best support from custom roms including Lineage, Murena, Calyx, Graphene and whatnot

        Neither do most phones these days unfortunately. The ones that do have them are not mainstream phones, which means the chances of a fully working custom ROM for them is next to zero.

          Xperia 1 still have audio jack and SD card slot. Banging camera as well. You just need to import them if you’re in Canada which is a real bummer.

          The whole Motorola G have both, and there are some Motorola devices with LineageOS. I guess I need to find any developer mentioning interest in working with the newer models and buy accordingly (and donate what I can to keep them going)

            Pixel 4a models do have headphone jack if you don’t need the newest models, unfortunately no sd card slot still
