    Yes, it’s just iodéOS, which is LineageOS and microg. You can do this with literally any phone if the bootloader can be unlocked. Even easier if it’s officially supported by lineage.

    From the specs it sounds like it’s like a Vivo Y28s. It’s not that exact model but something very similar. Same features, same soc, has microsd and headphone jack.

    And they are selling it for USD 300. I found this vivo on middle eastern and indian webshops, and it costs less than USD 200.

      Yes, but where can you buy that Y28s with an AOSP ROM out of the box? Can you even install an AOSP ROM on it? Furthermore, those Asian phones likely will not work with US VoLTE. The whole point of this phone is that it is a solution for people who do not want to deal with flashing another ROM and want something that “just works”. Rob Braxman also sells Pixels with AOSP ROMs (previously CalyxOS, now something else, I believe). The point is not getting the best value or the most revolutionary or amazing device ever.
