Personally, I buy cheap Motorola G4/G5/G6, etc phones. $150 or less, new. They are fast enough, and work well enough for me. And, cheap enough that buying next year's model when it comes out isn't a problem. And no anxiety about dropping it.

Yah, I've been doing the - buy a generation or two back of the flag ship release. Just bought the LG g5 which was their flagship 2 years ago, amazing phone.

I wouldn't mind doing that but the security update patch problem for Android phones that suddenly stop getting them is a nightmare.

GP mentioned the LG G5 which is still receiving security updates

If you go with that strategie you usually buy community supported or open phones. Everything with a locked bootloader is pretty much worthless after the 2-3 year update window.

I have a Oppo a37 for 3 years now. Except the rather shitty camera I don't see a single reason why I would want anything more from a phone.
