I would like to see a commercial phone with LineageOS in Europe, that's fairly cheap. But vendors are pushing now for 2000€ phones none needs because they can fold

I have high hopes for cheaper Nokia (HMD) phones. Like 6.1, https://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_6_1-8972.php . LineageOS doesn't seem to support it yet, but aosp does: https://downloads.aospextended.com/PL2

Nokia has no bootloader unlocking, except for the Nokia 8 and the have publicly stated they don't plan to add new devices to the unlock program.

Some older devices are supported through some weird unofficial sites where you have to send in your IMEI, which is obviously shady...

Also they don't update their kernel sources in a timely manner at all. Which makes developing custom ROMs WAY harder..

So sadly, Nokia sucks if you wan't custom ROMs, I ditched my Nokia 8 for a Poco F1 for this reason.

I think OP would like a phone sold with Lineage. That's what I'd like as well: officially supported, on warranty, with guaranteed updates.

The older models used Cyanogen and then moved over to Lineagos

Cheap and cheerful.
