Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro

Cheap (I got it for £150)

Supports all bands used in the UK (I think there's a 5g version too?)

Pretty much perfect for anything other than gaming heavy graphically intense gaming (minecraft tier games are fine though). The camera is great, very smooth, good storage & ram, etc. Only downside is quirks of MIUI but it isn't awful.
Anything that can run Android 11 or higher
- Why Android 11? With each update they are adding cool stuff but also many very negative stuff like the new file permison system
Nokia G22 or G42 5G. Reason, price, pure android, easily repairable and easily replacable battery.
Pixel 7a, upper mid tier.
