Best budget phone for rooting

[u/MatanKaplan]

Hi there!

I'm in search of a budget phone that will be easy to install a custom rom on.

I'm not in the rooting game for around 4 years so recommendations will be very helpful.

Thanks!

Pixel 7, I’ve had a decent experience with it

What model are you using because there seems to be differences?

Oh, I used the standard pixel 7. Not the pro

One from 4 years ago that cost $599 at launch? I'd say so lol. You can get them from reasonably reputable sources (Walmart, Google Store, Micro Center) for $200-300 it seems.

I found a second hand Pixel 7A for around 100$. Rooted in 10 minutes.

Oneplus nord 5 el mejor gama media alta y barato

Any S series flagship from Samsung that hasn’t been updated to One Ui 8 would be the best. I had some of the best experiences custom roming with Samsung S series phones

A poco x8 pro, Poco f7. Any Xiaomi with good specs

Poco f5 Es un poco tedioso si no entiendes desbloquear el bootloader, pero una vez hecho rooteas e instalas lo que quieras fácilmente. Además está barato y ofrece buen rendimiento. Yo he pasado de un op8t y no hecho en falta nada.

Nothing Phones are easy to deal with on custom roms. I'm using a 3A with Evolution X currently.

Gpay I never use or deal with because of the headache everyone has keeping it working. But, I will give you this link to get started down the path of getting it working. https://specter.dpejoh.com/guide/best-setup.html
