Okay, so as the title says, I'm looking for a very cheap android phone that can support LineageOS. I know this is a stretch, but my current phone isn't compatible. I'd also prefer a flip phone, but I'll take what I can get. I'm trying to not break the bank with a phone as I'm trying to save for a car (I'm about 1/6th of the way there for a beater). Any help at all is appreciated!

Also, can anyone recommend a desktop YouTube client since they decided JS was necessary to combat whatever the fuck?

Maybe a "moto g 5G 2024" using CalyxOS. I haven't used it but it's listed as supported on CalyxOS website.

They usually have great battery life but I assume you can find one for around $100

Note that calyxOS is currently halted, and instructions and downloads on their website are currently inaccessible.
