Those phones are not “usable” in any sense except the bare minimum. How many of these sub USD 200 phones have you used and for how long?

How are they not usable? I use a Nokia 7.2 and I think it's a perfect phone. Good screen. Pure Android. Fast. Nice camera (though I really don't care about this). It has 64GB of internal storage, but adding an SD card was straightforward.

An older, once premium model can be a good middle ground. I usually buy used and had a Note4 for several years, then my SO used it, then I used it again, then we resold it in working condition. It also had a swappable battery and card slot. Both likely helped extend its life.

My over two year old Xiaomi (mi max 3) cost just under that, it still works fine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
