I just buy mid-range Xiaomi phones, unlock them and install LineageOS. So far, so good.
Not exactly "no fuss"
True, my bad. It's more "how do you make a no fuss phone".
Some people need CIA roms, for them it's worth it!
I've thought about doing this, but I'm worried about banking, payment, stocks (and other similarly picky) apps flipping the table when they notice it's a rooted device.
Yes, this may be a concern. I've bee relatively lucky using magisk + microg, but unfortunately YMMV.
Been having good luck with graphineos but you really need a pixel since they don't really support anything else.
Yea, I've been through that, banking apps and payment apps definitely don't like that. When I did that they weren't that well-used, but now I wouldn't go that way.
Even their old flagships are still quite good. I'm currently daily driving two 7 years old Mi6 phones with Lineage, because you just can't find a small phone nowadays.
Oh yes, definitely this. I've just done this for the first time ever two weeks ago on a 5 year old xiaomi redmi note 7, and this ancient thing is suddenly a beast again! Everything is suddenly so smooth and fast without all that bloatware and spyware
