My phone's incompatible with custom ROMs. With Google preventing app side loading, I'm slowly looking at replacing it. I'm torn b/c of frugality/ecology, I don't love replacing something that's not broken. (Though, I guess you could say Google broke it. I think I'll end up reselling the phone or gifting it to a friend.) Anyway, any recommendations on phones that should stay e/OS/ compatible for the foreseeable future?

Fairphone 5 or 6 is probably the best choice. All officially supported phones are supposed to get updates until they stop being able to boot the most recent android version, but FPs will also have the repairability and long-term parts availability benefits. FP5 may also be able to provide the best mobile Linux experience in the future
