New-ish devices compatible with custom ROMs

I am currently using an S9 with /e/OS, and I’m thinking about upgrading next year, since the battery is starting to act up.

Are there any phones released in the past few years that are a decent upgrade and that support a privacy-oriented ROM?

I can go up to 500USD, but I live in a 3rd world country, so Fairphones, Pixels, and some other phones aren’t available here.

Thank you in advance!

I use a Poco F4. F5 or F6 should be good enough too! Most Xiaomi devices have massive custom ROM support. Plus openly available firmware updates.

  Unfortunately there aren’t a lot of Pocos in my region
