Where do you get Android phones for cheaper than a Raspberry Pi (e.g. $35 for a Pi 4)?

> $35 for a Pi 4

Lol, if you have them at that price I'll take 5. More like $80-120 at current market rates, and then you still need to buy everything else that's already included in a phone.

I’m so tired of people citing $35 for a Pi. Maybe for a Pi Zero (non W). But $120 is standard at this point.

Second hand market? Samsung, OnePlus, HTC, LG, Nexus, Nokia, Pixels, with quad core CPUs and RAM >2GB can be had dirt cheap depending where you live.

Choose a popular, old flagship that's well supported by the community, and can be flashed with a de-Googled ROM and you're gold.

Old OnePlus devices are still supported today by the community.
