Good Mid-Range/Budget Phone?

[R0ADK1LL]

I've been rocking a OnePlus 5T for just over a year & it was great. Near stock Android, plenty of storage space & always ran smoothly.

 

Unfortunately my phone was pickpocketed this morning. I'm pretty upset.

I really need a phone for a tonne of reasons, including work. I often get sent important messages through WhatsApp so I need to replace it pretty quickly.

 

I'm currently living in Bogotá, Colombia & I don't want to spend too much, given the apparent lack of security around here. Also, I get paid in pesos, I don't have the biggest budget at the moment.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a decent mid-range/budget phone that will run smoothly & not annoy me every time I use it?

I don't really play games on my phone much but I do use it a lot for messaging, web browsing, maps & social media. I don't need the fastest processor but I want the basics to work every time without hitches.

 

I think notches are hideous. A decent camera would be great but not necessary. I'd like a headphone jack but I guess it's not necessary.

The original Pixel goes for about 150$ USD nowadays. Also, sorry to hear that's a terrible way to lose a phone.

Sorry to hear about your phone. I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy s7 Edge, I bought it for $350 about a year ago. Now it goes around for $200, If that is too much for you a used/refurbished Samsung Galaxy s7 on eBay goes for around $100 to $150 nowadays.
