    Under $300 IMO, that gets you a used flagship model from 1-2 years ago that isn’t too much different from the current models.

      The issue is that currently the 1-2 years used flagships have a lot of issues

      • Samsung S21 and S22 have bad batteries, not even talking about Exynos if OP is based in the EU
      • Pixel 6 and 7 have bad connectivity and also some battery issues
      • OnePlus aren’t what they used to be

      That reduces quite a lot what should be the main source of used flagships
