I lost my cellphone a few days ago and don’t wanna pay too much for another one. I’d like to keep it under $200. Thank you in advance comrades.

One of the Xiaomi, I have the 11T and after 3 years it still feels brand new. Average price is between $160-$300 for the Redmi and numbered series. Just get one that you like that has at least 6GB of ram.

Bonus: the bootscreen is a rabbit in an ushanka with a red star fixing the Android robot. You can also easily unlock their phones for root access.

These look neat, and the bootscreen is definitely a plus.

I use an obsolete unsupported phone that’s more than five years old. :onlytruesocialistmeme:

Same here. But it’s mostly because my phone has some funky awesome features that I haven’t found in combination on other newer phones. Dual SIM, app firewall as stock, auto call recording, reliable IPS display instead of planned-obsolescence OLED, proper HD, etc. I haven’t yet found a replacement with all the weird features I need, at any price.

It’s not under $200, but in the long term it could save you money: a fairphone, the only phone of which you can replace every element, instead of having to buy an entire new one.

As the other commenter said, iPhone se 2020 is great but the screen is a bit too small for me and ios is not very customizable. You can’t install YouTube vanced and stuff on ios.

OnePlus 7 Pro used goes for 200 if you are interested on the android side.

Redmi phones are usually good for the price, I always buy them under 200$ after watching some reviews to see what’s the good recent model.
