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.
Poco F3 is 300 dollars at most(often goes for even lower) has a 120 hz screen and supports many custom roms includin /e/OS (the one I am using) has a snapdragon 870 meaning this bad boy will emulate most anything even some switch games.
