I won't buy a phone that I can't run LineageOS on. MicroG.

Life is too short to struggle and play games with the spyware that ships on phones by default nowadays. Better to be able to blow it all away.

I won't buy one that doesn't have an aux port. Do you know any lineage-supporting modern phones that have an aux port (and an SD slot, ideally!) by chance?

You can filter for that on https://lineageosdevices.com/
A very similar tool, also for browsing the specs of LineageOS-compatible phones: https://anton-z-s.github.io/linext/.

You can’t use that tool’s SD Card column right now, since its code hasn’t been updated to match the LineageOS wiki’s new data shape. (I fixed that bug locally and plan to submit a PR.)

Thanks for this link, exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. The lineageOS site is kind of impossible to use for that purpose - it uses random names that don't have anything clearly to do with the device
How modern? I'm currently thinking about getting an S10, though there are also even more modern phones that would eet your criterea.
Poco F1, I'm sure newer ones have it too.
Moto G phones still do, AFAIK.
Same. I had a OnePlus 5T and now I am on a Moto Edge.
Google Pixel 5a has aux but no sd card
