Not looking for me personally, so leaving the specs/features open, and generally interested in what people might recommend.
Imo there’s almost always some surprising budget phones floating around to learn about. Only condition I might add is that preferably they’re from 2022-2023, and if not, mention their release year to help know its version/update situation.
I got a used pixel 4a for $160 last year. I don’t really care about being on the latest android version, and security updates will keep coming for a few years at least
