I'm firmly in the mid-range segment of the market, and made some good and some not so good choices over the years (including a Nokia with Android One for my mom, which was not a good choice because of the many hardware issues). The A52 I currently use has been hands down the best one, closely followed by a Pixel 4A for my wife. I don't love the whole One UI thing, and would prefer Android One or whatever the stock Android is called these days, but it's just a polished product, in terms of hardware, software and security updates.


I made my dad buy a Pixel 7a on sale at €290 but that was fairly exceptional, I haven't seen it this cheap again.

Get a Galaxy A5x has been my go-to recommendation otherwise.


Where was a Pixel 7a on sale at such a steep discount? In my area, the cheapest it ever was recorded was 460 Euros.


I dont know if the pixel he was referencing is new or refurbished but I'd keep an eye on Swappa/BackMarket, if you're in the EU and looking to buy a used relatively new phone for a cheap price.

I would also appreciate an answer to the same question FirmwareBurner has asked.
