For me it’s Motorola G72. It’s excellent for the price.
Samsung Galaxy XCover 6Pro
Headphone jack, micro SD slot, dual sim, user removable battery, notification led, ip68, 120hz display and the rubber/plastic back and sides feels great in hand. Also costs around $600
Wow, i wasn’t aware of this phone until I saw this comment. It reminds me of the Galaxy S5 active.
I’ve been rocking it for a month or 2 now and it is the best! I’m able to watch YouTube in bed, while charging, with wires earbuds. On a trip I was able to swap out the battery instead of recharging.
It is also SIGNIFICANTLY faster than the xcover pro and has way better battery life. A world of a difference.
I just wish I could find an external charger for the spare battery. I had one for my previous device but can’t find one for the XCover
I think the ASUS Zenfone has been pretty decent. Great battery, good form factor and has a headphone jack.
I was looking for this. once I went to zenfone, I never looked back. superb build quality, an insane amount of resources built in, and lineageOS or /e/ ready! hands down, best prones ever!
The pixel 3. In Shenzhen can buy a completely new one (unsold units sent back from western stores) for $70 and it’s very good. Perfect size, great screen, fast, lightweight. Newer phones are too big and heavy. Shame that Google decided to stop making updates so you need to use a custom ROM - just need to make sure that it was not destined to Verizon stores otherwise the bootloader is locked. Luckily the seller kept separate “from Europe” and “from USA” labels on the table. Thinking to buy one for all of my relatives
Sadly the Pixel 3 is are no longer getting security updates. Which custom ROMs mitigate a bit. But graphene OS has stopped supporting it. So if you’re very security sensitive you probably want to stick with a phone that’s still getting updates. That being said I love my Pixel 3A. Just sad it’s not " safe anymore "
The moto g 5g is an outstanding budget phone with loads of features. It’s compatible with Google’s virtual assistant voice answering service which is honestly a lifesaver that’s stopped me from hearing so much spam.

The Pixel a series I don’t see in public much. Usually comes months after the main Pixels come out, but the specs you get for the price point is insane.

Pixel As in general seem to have better rom support, for example, Pixel 3a is one of the few devices with all ubuntu touch features working, while pixel 3 isnt even supported

Pixel 5A, headphone jack and graphene os. Never seen anyone else using it, but it’s a trooper.

Will banking apps run without complaint?
mojo@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Most of them yeah. I won’t lie, not all of them will. GrapheneOS did a small little faq writeup that can explain better then I can grapheneos.org/usage#banking-apps

In Canada I’ve seen a massive uptick in seeing Pixel’s in public in the last year or two
