Unfortunately not all features are always available on those ROMs.
One example is GrapheneOS and Google Wallet which I cannot use due to GrapheneOS not being considered “certified software” by the app and therefore not being trusted.
A32 5G costs anything from $150 to $300. Trust me, I know what it means to be on a budget - I’ve never owned a phone that costed over $250. However, at that price I’d much rather get something like OnePlus 6 - an old phone with amazing community support (in fact, the new OnePlus 6 I bought from China costed $150) and specs that frankly are probably going to be better than newly released “budget” phones.
They aren’t readily available here either, so I’m ordering it online. Unless you want to tell me you have less online purchase options than people in Russia.
just don’t use the official ROMs? this applies for every device btw, OEMs are not to be trusted

some phones just dont have custom roms, e.g. A32 5G, or have broken custom roms, e.g. Calls dont work on the A42 5G.
Don’t buy such phones. Personally though I’m never again buying a phone where I can’t install GNU/Linux.
