Hi
Need to replace my Huawei nova 3e. Have budget of around $400. Can I get a recommendation for an outright android phone. Main use to stream bluetooth music during work, 8 hours so good battery life? Has sdcard slot. I dont need anything fancy. TIA.
Outright Android phone budget ~$400

Only negative is - no dual sim. Hard to manage while traveling abroad.
Poco x6 pro
Motorola G75
Motorola g54 (if you can still find stock), or other cheap moto ones IF you dont care about super high quality camera.
otherwise just get Samsung A series like shxhsz said above.
Do not get Xiaomi if you care of privacy and not willing to root/custom rom on it.

Don't bother buying any phone then. Xiaomi is not an outlier here
Oppo X5 Pro, if you can find one that cheap. Otherwise, seen one selling for $500, as new.

More, indeed, but with better configuration and better support than the $400 options.
