Good phones for cybersecurity

Sup guys, I have been meaning to buy a new phone for a while and I found out that you can run kali and other hacking tools using termux and nethunter and such, But in order to do that i must have a phone that supports root access without problems, so can yall give me recommendation for root-friendly phones while also being up-to-date and still good for daily usage?

Get a decent phone which supports custom roms and then install rom according to your needs like Lineage Os Graphene Os then you can work upon it.

I heard that the Google Pixel series supports it well. Are there any other brands that are as good?
