Motorola Moto Edge (2021)
Pros: Moto's classically lite skin with sensible additions that can be turned off if you don't want them, great battery, great performance, really just a well rounded device.
Cons: I think I legally have to mention the update cadence, and lack of long-term support, but honestly it doesn't bother me. Android versions haven't mattered much past, what, Jelly Bean? Though longer security support would be nice. Also, the camera can be a little soft, but I don't take a ton of photos so I'm rather ambivalent on it.
Honestly, I paid a good price for an unlocked device that still holds up amazingly well. I'm very satisfied.
I feel the same way about my Moto G Stylus 2020 (called Moto G Pro outside of America,) except I'm a big fan of the cameras, especially with the Google Cam mod...but I've only ever had super cheap, old, super-budget phones before this one that I keep for years until they just don't work anymore. This one I bought when it was less than a year old and is a much higher tier of 'budget phone' than my previous ones. So my love of this camera is compared to relatively shitty ones I've had in the past. I have no idea how the cameras would hold up compared to flagships. I'm super happy with it! It's still going strong and I plan to keep it until it dies. Motorola's got some great phone options!
