I was not familiar with that site. Amazon hasn't been that useful lately anyway. Have you noticed that all their product reviews seem to rate 4.5 stars? It's all gamed, and search isn't much better.

BTW, LineageOS (and Cyanogenmod) are recompiles of the Android source code, but with all the annoying crap and branding removed. Ordinary phones (Android and iPhones) appear to constantly nag me to rate or do stuff or suggest things I don't want to do. Drives me nuts. The ringer volume changes on its own frequently and it even goes into Airplane mode without me telling it to.

I wound up ordering an old Pixel 3XL, which was the recommendation from slashdot.org for running LineageOS.
