I didn't want to justify my choice, but I have a slight handicap in my hand that prevents me from using large smartphones easily. (Malformation of the little finger)
Try and find me an Android phone the size of my iPhone 13 mini were you can put a privacy friendly os, and yes, we'll talk.
I've been on CalyxOs for over two years, but the pixels are too big, so the iPhone 13 mini was the best compromise for my privacy and my disability.
I know it's not perfect, but that's no reason to criticise it gratuitously without knowing the context.
What's more, Apple Maps in France isn't very effective, so it's not a convincing alternative.
Hey, one option I could think of was the Moto G7 by Motorola. It is slightly bigger than the iPhone 13 mini (6.18 x 2.96 x 0.31 in), but it is supported by Lineage OS.
It's actually my personal device of choice, and it works pretty well with Lineage. I have smaller hands, so it is perfect too.
Did you ever try looking into this specific model?
