Looking for a new phone. Tips, anyone?
I need physical dual sim and it should run a non-google-android (Graphene/LineageOS).
Bonus points for large battery, nice camera etc. Max 3 million sat.

OnePlus device?
I have a Fairphone with Murena (/e/) OS (fork of lineage), very happy with it!
Been wanting to give the Volla phones a try.

But haven't heard any experiences from people around me though, but the concept seems cool.
If GrapheneOS is on your radar, I assume privacy and security is a focus? If that is the case it hss to be a Google Pixel.
Here are what #GrapheneOS recommend:
We strongly recommend only purchasing one of the following devices for GrapheneOS due to better security and a minimum 5 year guarantee from launch for full security updates and other improvements:
Pixel 7 Pro
Pixel 7
Pixel 6a
Pixel 6 Pro
Pixel 6

Using any other device with any other OS (LineageOS and purported priv/sec OSes based on it) is significantly less private and secure.
If you can wait for the 8th Gen Pixel, I have it rumored to be coming with MTE support too.
Don't forget all other OS and handset combinations come with a Google by default approach with privileged system level access and for network/time/SUPL/PSDS connections too.
GrapheneOS is no Google by default and with our isolated sandboxed Google Play Services it has the broadest app compatibility:

If you have any further questions by all means familiarise yourself with our documentation on the site. If you seek clarity on anything please do reach out and ask.
All the best making your decision.
