I broke my phone a few months ago and I hadn’t use a phone since I didn’t need it until now. I’m willing to buy one that’s around under 500$. I’m thinking of getting google pixel maybe, any recommendations?

    Just a nitpick:

    microg is optional mostly. You can install most apps from the playstore via e.g. Aurora store. However if you don’t have microg or something similar, some of the propriety ones won’t work.

    I rarely run into an issue with this, and I’m using LineageOS without microg or similar for many years. The only issue that was a bit annoying was the local contact tracing app, which didn’t work and which, for a moment, made me think I may not be able to visit a sports game… turned out well though and didn’t need the app to get in :)
