I can only recommend Sony. Especially, the newer one which has 4+6yrs of software updates. But, you will have to wait untit it becomes old for 2nd hand model to get within $260.

But, if you can get your hands on fairphone. It would be good too. Everything except 3.5mm jack, the android 15 update which will arrive sometime in the future. You will have to compromise someplace to arrive at your ideal phone.

The A72 is very old and in the poco X5 pro you will be dealing with MiUi/hyperOS shenanigans like not being able to use gestures in 3rd party launchers.
