    Second hand? Find a used 3-4 years old flagship phone (or quality midrange nowadays) with good LineageOS compatibility and you’re golden. Seriously it’s nothing like what you’re describing. I do this for myself, mom and sis, all phones are fast, 8 gb ram, 128-256 storage (and I didn,t buy them recently)

    Maybe the second hand market is different for us europoors

    Just don’t give all that money to those awful corporations.

    A second hand 100€ phone and a glass of fresh water are more than enough to feel completely dead inside.

    I need to install Magisk.

    Google:
    1st result: their Github page
    2: magisk-manager.fr.uptodownDOTcom/android
    3: magiskmanagerDOTcom/
    4: magisk-manager.fr.softonicDOTcom/android

    Kagi:
    1st result: their Github page
    2: magiskDOTme/ (icon showing it may be scam)
    3: magiskmanagerDOTcom/ (scam icon)
    4: themagiskDOTcom/ (scam icon)

    No way I’m clicking on anything but the Github page.
    Kagi is somewhat better than Google, but you have to pay attention to the small warning icon.
    I would say bot search engines do a bad job and shouldn’t show those results (or have an option “show me unsafe websites”)

    edit: uptodown and softonic might not be as bad. Still wouldn’t download from them.

    el cheapo interneto when you’re not rich:

    4G router at home, data capped (350 GB for 10€) so I had to be creative.

    For non urgent downloads I use an Oracle free tier server: 200 GB. I retrieve the files when I have access to a fiber connection. Also acts as a small seedbox. Completely free but can be reclaimed by Oracle at any moment.

    150 GB on Filen for sharing stuff (one time purchase)

    A small 40 GB VPS for syncing smaller files like my notes, passwords, some files on Nextcloud … also for Wallabag and a few other services.
