One plus nord n10 5g 394 bucks on eBay but can easily use gift cards for cheaper price.
And also to get cashbackHi there mates,
my moneys on importing a refurbished 1 year old LG V50 with quad hifi ESS sabre DAC and with DTS X audio and 10bit HDR video and 10bit HDR display. A snapdragon processor and decent specs across the board comparable to a samsung equivalent of that year but a fraction of the price. Just slightly less good battery and you may get an annoying "network activation" grey screen for 50 seconds to 2 mins or so with each hard boot/reset of the device before can start using coz of shitty sprint or tmobile verizon whatever they're called in the USA. but its unbelievably good value you can find on ebay in A grade condition. Buy a 25-40watt charge adaptor off asian sites with a 5A super charge type C cable (get all type C always and forever coz USB 4 is here to stay and can buy USB 4 devices they all are type C)
BEST OF ALL the lg v50 is a native freesync display its like 90hz.. you cant turn that stuff off like our fake TV's here.. im pretty suspcious the samsungs and what have you's from JB hi price are maybe brazillian fakes or vietnamese fakes coz their HDMI specs arent in spec with the rest of planet earth and they have disturbingly shorter lifespans and the freesync just not work as it should when freesync is decades old and meant to specifically remove the need for software and buffering and turning things off and on. Though admittedly very few games support freesync see the list of featured games on the AMD website and buy them all then make sure you've enabled freesync in your display or TV's game mode for your PC. Your qualcomm mobile phones have an AMD adreno GPU in the snapdragons which is the same as the radeon IMAGEON engine. your LG phone will be super baller and best value buy ever. If you want a better camera tho as its only 16mp you could maybe splurge a hundred bucks more for a newer LG V60 which is maybe 6 months old? and better battery but no 3.5mm headphone jack quad dac. i kinda wish i splurged. But yeah LG phones are famous for audio and video.
your 90z freesync LG phones video playback even just capturing video footage in camera mode or playing it back 1080p or 4k 60hz looks a million times better than my 2018 200hz samsung TV that is currently being repaired by JB under in store warranty within 2.5 years as it cost over $2000 which is maybe aussie consumer law standard and i paid extra $350 at time of purchase to extend the store warranty a further 3 years.. but they still said my TV may take 4-8 weeks to tell me what action they've taken and when i can pick it up. Samsung text messaged me 2 days after i left it with them that their repair tech and assesment guy arrived at the JB store and assessed the TV and JB will contact me about it. its been maybe a week or two now? feels like forever using shitty small old TEAC my deceased grandma left gathering dust for my gaming monitor its barely 60hz!
anyway LG phones are awesome and tend to be affordable because they make the one international model and its generally a firmware thing so all of asia and world has same model same specs works everywhere. But the stupid LG world store for fonts and themes seems region locked to USA and wants me to sign in with a USA LG account the idiots what they think australia's so upside down we dont deserve the same fonts? EDIT forgot to add the V50 is 5G device with SD card storage or dual sim in the second sim slot i believe /EDIT
Bought 2 of these recently for work to use as on-call phones where all we needed was a basic smartphone and no issues with either of them.
A few people at work have commented they are surprised by the features and the price which is now $50 less than the most recent one I purchased in January.
