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.

If you mean budget=cheap, that's not cheap. Cheap is <$100. The range $200-$400 should get you advanced models; almost flagship. Samsung will have a lot in that range, for example.

I agree that cheap would be <$100, but when it comes to smartphones I was thinking in terms of something that would be considered more performant, and that that might have you looking more at options over $100. I may be whiffing on some decent cheaper models though, so feel free to mention them!

Budget in the title was for the range mentioned, but not meant to exclude anything cheap or cheaper, by any means.
