If you're open to second hand, you can get something like A16 5G within that range. Somewhat more premium specs, just released nearly 2 years ago.

Yes agree with this as my partner's secondary phone is this and it works like a charm but preferably a new phone

Using Samsung A05. Other than the extremely slow start up, very durable and good battery life.

Nice recommendation. Will consider

OS update is overrated for budget phones. Your system will become laggy by the 2nd year and OS update will worsen it. You should focus on battery life and performance first. I would pick budget poco, redmi or iqoo before taking samsung a07-a27.

That's true. Thank you for enlightening me. Probably will dig deeper into Poco
