an Android or LineageOS device You need to decide whether you’re okay with Android, or want to be able to also run LineageOS. The latter will reduce your options to devices that can be rooted and have their bootloader unlocked - so Xiaomi, Motorola, Nothing, Google and Fairphone - and that too only some models (the ones for which a LineageOS ROM has been developed). at least 6GB of RAM Any midrange and even many budget phones have 6GB RAM nowadays. capable of running without Google Apps Do you just want to not use Google Apps, or do you want to completely remove them from your phone? Again, the latter will need rooting and bootloader unlocking. compact enough for portability open to a tablet Tablets are not very portable. performance is key Probably avoid Google Pixels then. They use Tensor chips, which have poor performance. USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode Which devices have this, and which don’t, is very arbitrary. You’ll have to check for each model.

    Probably avoid Google Pixels then. They use Tensor chips, which have poor performance. Disagree here. Maybe it’s worse than other current flagships, but the performance is nowhere near as bad as the cheap budget phones I’ve had before. When I got my Pixel the performance felt like an upgrade from my Samsung phone so I wouldn’t discount it.
