This is the $300 Android phone to beat in 2023 - and it even has a stylus
Motorola's Moto G Stylus 5G (2023) sees notable feature improvements that go toe-to-toe with Samsung and Google's mid-rangers. This sale puts it at the top for me.

But can it run Lineage
Not a single phone has released their proprietory camera driver blobs in recent history. I wish that would happen. There will always be a loss of image quality in custom roms which don't use the stock version on the phone.
Fairly sure Pixels can use GCam just fine on third party ROMs and the basic photography modes give identical output
Yeah, but pixels have a low market share unfortunately. Something like Samsung will have the majority market share in most countries. I had a one plus 5 and even with the gcam mod the image output was significantly low (pixels back then only had 12mp and the aspect ratio etc was terrible.)
Pixels are the standard for how custom ROMs should work, blame other OEMs for not confirming to standards and breaking APIs.
I do blame them. I also blame google for not offering those features in android in the first place.... A lot of custom rom features are available in the Samsung rom so I don't really use rooted devices anymore.
Especially hate how android changed with their anti-call recording stance, which now requires root, exposed and an xposed module just for this basic feature. Samsung offers this out of the box.
