Users owning this device
The Moto G7 Play is a 5.7" phone with a 720 x 1512P display. It can be bought for about £120 in the UK. It is A/B partitioned, and has an arm64 cpu, however Custom ROMSs must be a64 binder (32 bit OS). No work has gone on to port this device to PostMarketOS yet.

Kernel
There is an XDA thread, which hasnt been posted to for a while, for compiling the kernel, for use with android. This may become helpful. It can be found here And source code for the kernel can be found here
I have had a look at trying to compile the kernel and there *is* a defconfig in the arm64 architcture, so i guess it may work, but i couldnt get it to build (hey, this is my first time compiling a linux kernel)
Notes from Jean-Etienne
The SDM32 kernel from LineageOS builds fine with arm64 architecture. Apparently the bootloader passes a skip_initramfs option which needs to be disabled in the kernel for postmarketOS to boot.
