Samsung S10 Lite. It's better than a lot of mid-range phones, but not top tier.

Yes however this has been happening recently so I'd stay away from Samsung as well https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/...er-samsungs-galaxy-smartphones-and-im-fed-up/
Honestly as a general rule just avoiding Huawei and their sub-brands which are still owned by Huawei and Samsung/Apple is a good idea.

I like my Moto G 7 Power. You should look at it if you want something affordable with crazy battery life. Just don't expect to play any complex games on it. It's fine for the more casual stuff but I really don't game on my phone.

My advice is..budget brands are ok (Xiaomi/Huawei)
Budget phones from famous brands are shitty phones (Samsung)

- Sony Xperia 10 II, cheap, big screen yet "compact" (due to screen ratio), nice design and quality, 128GB, micro sd slot, 3.5mm jack, amazing battery life/optimization, perf good enough, 4GB ram...
- LG G8 high range performance with everything you need and cheap in 2020. (LG don't have bootloop issues since years now)
- iPhone SE (the latest one)
Everything else is crap or overpriced.

Although Xiaomi is a Chinese brand, they are mostly manufactured in India.

Its a cellphone. Not a fucking propaganda.
If we need kill communists. So stop of buying consoles of gaming. TV. The 90% of products of the earth is from china.... Even stop post here. This forum in part of China work.
Even that.... Stop using your cellphone that is made from China.

I'm more of a cheapo phone dude aswell:
tested a Honor 9x for 3 weeks - great phone, no complaints apart from the music-EQ being annoying - should be 200€
tested a Redmi Note 9S for 2 weeks - great phone, no complaints - sub 200€
edit: available on amazon.es, which is a redirect when I went on amazon.pt? weird.

Google just discontinued production of the Pixel 3A. If you can find one, it's a fantastic phone for the price with a great camera if that matters to you.
I'm rocking an LG V50 5G I got for $275 on ebay back in March. It uses Sprint as the service. IF you arent in the states, I honestly don't know what's available in Portugal, but the V50 is amazing for the price. Only a year old and has all the flagship features.

EDIT: No Camera bump and a built-in High quality DAC 3.5mm headphone jack plus expandable storage with 128GB internal. 855 Snapdragon processor and it's running Android 10. Should get 11. That's really the only thing bad about a branded LG device. Updates will be slow to get and i don't know how many years it will be supported. But LG phones drop like a rock in price, so in 2023 or 2024 I'm sure they'll be a year old LG flagship around the same price as this one.

I've been a Samsung user for most of my time, but since huawei got rid of google I went for Huawei. It is a bit less user friendly cause you will need to install apps from their store or use a pc, but the phone is way mor snappy than expected.
Otherwise you can get a oneplus Nord that is coming out soon.

I've stuck with Sony Xperias since 2013 with the ZL, Z3 and currently the XZ1. Bit the bullet and ordered a Xperia 1 Mk ii since the one I have now is getting long in the tooth and the new one is making me quite hyped for all the upgrades it offers. I'm also looking to get more into photography so this looks right up my alley.
I just prefer the elegant and sleek designs of Sony's Xperia line. I've also been spoiled with a fingerprint scanner embedded in the power button on my XZ1 and also like the fact that Sony had kept the headphone jack with said new phone model. The screen (Gorilla Glass ftw) and front facing stereo speakers are enticing as well. I've already got my phone case ready for it from Amazon.
So yeah, I recommend Sony Xperia phones.

Yeah, I'm stuck looking for a new phone too. I'm currently using a Sony Xperia ZXP, but T-Mobile in the US is dropping all phones that don't support VoLTE in January.
I've been looking for a bit, but I've fallen in love with the dual front facing speakers, memory card slot (download videos/movies to), 4k screen, and an unlocked phone. The finger-print sensor in the power button on the side won't work for unlocking the phone (too many errors) but works great for apps. (Go figure that crap)
The OnePlus 7 seems nice (minus the memory card slot), but I can't find the model with the pop-up camera(which I'll never use) for sale new. The Sony phones are too rich for my blood but more importantly their software support sucks. Fuck Samsung and their Android skin. I loved my nexus 5 and 6P, but they both died early deaths. LG I'm on the fence about - can anyone talk about their software support? Is it 2 years from 1st street date then screw you like Sony?
What complicates matters is where I live. The 600Mhz band that the wife's pixel 3a supports let's her phone work at the house, while my Sony turns into a paperweight....
