As the title says whats a good phone for £200-250. Only main requirement is it's got to have a headphone jack. (type C would be nice but not needed)

Edit: Another requirement- No notch

Nokia 7.1 seems pretty solid.

Comes with a Snapdragon 636, 3GB RAM, USB C, headphone jack and a 3000mAh battery.
And best of all: Android One.

The Motorola One is a very similar phone. Might be a good option too!

I completely forgot to say this, because I forgot about it. I do not like notches at all. It would infuriate me

What about punchhole cameras?
The Motorola One Action has one.

Or a teardrop notch? The Samsung A50 seems nice.

Its hard to find something that has a oldschool bezel and doesn't come with shitty software.

Almost every phone has one nowadays, especially in the lower end segment.

I don't mind it, because having more space is great.

 

You could also look into getting a Pixel 2. They are about 300GBP now. Here in Germany there was recently a deal, where they sold them for 250€. So maybe if you look around you could find one on ebay. That would be a nice phone for the price.

 

Here you can check for yourself what's available:

I think the A50 is best choice but yea. I could be wrong though
