work requires a couple of applications I refuse to install on my personal<br>
phone, so I need a secondary phone.<br>
<br>
Any recommendation considering the following?<br>
<br>
I would like to go with LineageOS[0] once it's up and running or some other<br>
'as free as practical' Android fork.<br>
<br>
I would love a Plasma phone or maybe even an Ubuntu phone, but need to<br>
grab some proprietary apps from the Android app store, so they're not much<br>
of an option for this particular case[1].<br>
<br>
I would prefer a phone with a working FM radio.<br>
<br>
In general, I prefer Samsung hardware.<br>
<br>
Cost is a large factor for this purchase. I will likely be trying to find<br>
someting on the second hand or refurb market. I'm perfectly fine with old<br>
hardware provided I can continue getting software updates.<br>
<br>
Currently using t-mobile, but would prefer something with radios for all<br>
the carriers[2].<br>

<br>
[1] There is the possibility of buying a new primary phone and making my<br>
current phone the secondary. I presume this option is more expensive than<br>
I can commit to the purchase.<br>
<br>
[2] Not that Verizon is an option for me until it stops fighting net<br>
neutrality.<br>
<br>
ciao,<br>
