Not directly an answer to your question, but I thought this may be of interest to you as well: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/
Thanks for the link
However, if you really want a terminal on your phone, try Termux on F-Droid. It runs directly on the phone's hardware (under android). You can also install Debian using proot-distro on it.
Thanks for the suggestion, it is valid for a current operational cellphone. I want to share these two
But my case if when either Android or iOS can't be upgraded anymore

I don't know what exactly you intend to accomplish with an android device that has only a terminal (so only a CLI?). However, if you really want a terminal on your phone, try Termux on F-Droid. It runs directly on the phone's hardware (under android).
My goal is bring back to life the mobile device as a simple client in the LAN. Being the latest scenario use only as terminal. Remember the OS itself is out of date, so I want replace by Linux directly
Therefore if my own cellphone/tablet/ipad (or any device of your own family) can be keep it in use as a client in the LAN thanks to Linux is a good new. It is a kind of expensive hardware. Same in old laptops based on 32 bits
You can also install Debian using proot-distro on it.
Do you mean termux/proot-distro?
Thanks to all
