If you're looking for a cheap tablet, the LG G Pad 8.3 v500 is only $120ish and is fully supported by LineageOS

There are over 150 devices supported, but the vast majority are smartphones

Thanks for the hint, will look into it. My current tablet is an old Huawei (Mediapad T1 10/T1-A21L). It was part of a promo action and does what I want (I mainly use it was PDF reader), but Android 4.2 gets old and security doesn't get better, so maybe time for an upgrade and this time something LineageOS supports.

The chinese mobile phones (and tablets) with the MediaTek chips are cheap and nice, but LinegeOS doesn't support them.

My last 3 mobile phones were MediaTek phones, but that's one of my biggest gripes with them.
