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?

    I think in general you can expect popular phones to have a higher chance of getting custom ROM support. The Google Pixel range would be a safe bet. Most custom ROMs maintain a list with devices they are supporting or planning to support, but as far as I know there is no site combining these information.
