I would also have a look at the XDA forum. A very large percentage of devices that are not officially supported have unofficial ports (Lineage and others) that run 99% as well as the official ones.
e.g. my old Galaxy S8 was not official supported but one of the staff members of XDA made a port that runs like an absolute dream.
Check the unofficial builds on XDA. My bet is that it exists. The unofficial builds are rock solid if you’re wondering. I have a 10 year old smartphone that runs Lineage18 flawlessly on an unofficial ROM
Yep, I’ve had to tearfully look away from better (and cheaper) handsets than the one I’m holding for the same reason. If it can’t be repurposed don’t buy it
Sorry, I meant that I checked the supported device listings and mine isn’t there. They have similar but newer models.
I also have a somewhat unique processor so even jailbreaking it is a bit crazy.

Thanks. I just spent some time on XDA and unfortunately there’s scant support for my processor.
No joy today it seems.
Dang. Yeah, every time I look for a new smartphone I check to see what the Lineage and future PmOS support is like
This is a Note 8 and no one has figured out a way to open the Snapdragon bootloader.
Thing is I specifically chose Snapdragon for its performance. Silly me.
