Hello,
I apologize if this was asked before but I wasn't sure what terms to search for.
I'm looking to experiment with making a platform using an android kernel/drivers. To do so, I'm looking to buy a phone that can be very customized, as I'll be running with a very low-level version of android, and I need it to have decent specs as well.
Could anyone advise some options for this?
To be clearer, the same way the Nintendo Switch is an android-based console, I want to make something of the sorts myself, and I need a testing device.
Thank you for your time!

Yeah I saw the thread but thought it was more towards regular phone purchasing and my post would be drowned since it's a little different as it relates to a different kind of usage.
Thank you very much for your reply though!

Seems Google Pixel is the way to go since you get direct and easy access to drivers, thank you so much for your time! Marking it as the answer

The inlaws are looking to get their first smartphone (they're currently still using flip phones!).
They want something they can get pics of and vid chat with the grandkids.
Despite my advice that they get the best phone they can afford now since they likely wouldn't be upgrading for quite some time, they insist on getting the cheapest possible option that will do what they want.
That said, while I'm on VZW myself, I don't really keep up at all with the lower end phones... I have no idea what phone(s) in this spectrum would be the best for them.
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to the best free/super cheap VZW phone for them? I want them to stick with Android (rather than apple) since that's what I know and can therefore best help them if/when issues arise.
Thanks!!

I'm really questioning your objectives for this thread as you posted pretty similar questions just two days ago?
Huawei or Xiaomi?
Hello, I have some questions and please answer them briefly: 1- The Huawei is better or Xiaomi? 2- The Huawei OS name is HarmonyOS and I heard that you can install the Google Play Store on it and install Android applications. Does it work well...

Hello,
No, this is not a similar question.
All three brands, Huawei, Xiaomi, and Motorola, are known for producing high-quality smartphones with reliable parts. However, it ultimately depends on the specific model and components used in each device. It's always a good idea to do some research and read reviews before making a purchase to ensure you are getting a phone with the best quality parts for your needs.
