Two things:

-please let it have a processor meaningfully better than an A13 Bionic (the iPhone 11 processor, my current phone, a 6 year old chip at this point)

  • do Murena phones with eOS have the full play services API working?

    Better than Play Services, microG the European open source alternative

    I have bad news for you. From the specs on their site it appears to be a 6.5 inch FHD screen with a mid-range MediaTek processor. Really not much different from all the other mid-range phones offered in their site. For flagship price.

    Though to be fair to the project, you don't need to buy a phone from them, you can re-inage an existing device bought elsewhere as long as it's one of their supported models.

    Well, it's as paintful to use as a lineage os phone w microg (not a full implementation). If you want security and usability, use GrapheneOS.

    does eos have well known pitfalls in this regard?

    No AVB yellow state on most devices (bootloader relock with custom keys), MicroG (while actually a cool project) Isn't a fully functional implementation (no Chromecast if you enjoy self harm, no U2F, FIDO authentication, etc.), you also can't use safetynet (for banking apps) with unlocked bootloader

    This is actually incorrect, on almost all devices that Murena sells the bootloader is locked. I think you are confusing their official builds with their community/volunteer builds
