Hello, this is not my lang, it may be weird,
As the title reads, what is the criteria that the developing follows
when choosing the new models to include in the array of options,
is it hardware specs, brand/model popularity, price?Thanks.

@daemonicvs It is more than that, it is about Lineage support and getting hold of Vendor Blobs ( a lot of vendor blobs are proprietary so they have to be reverse engineered - think of a blob as a driver in PC terms). It is the ability to unlock the boot loader so vendors like Huawei are out. It is also the ability to get the right Android on the device, some devices the Android version needs rolling back and it cannot be done without bricking the device.
And one of the main restrictions is having an enthusiastic person who has the ability and time to a) create the UT port and b) to maintain it.

Ok, that is a whole lot of complications, I was looking for some criteria when buying a new phone, trying to foresee which device would be convenient, for switching to UT at a later time.
I understand now, thank you,
Note: the icons for like and dislike are not showing of correctly, I probably clicked the wrong one, xD
