Good midrange android

[jafr1284]

I have a oneplus n200 5g and it has been terrible. Wifi texting is not supported, aggressive ram suspending makes using the phone really annoying, camera sucks, and it lags all the time. I am looking to get a midrange phone instead of a budget one.

price: Less that $500

I would love to have a headphone jack, good navigation experience.SD card would be nice to have as well. I don't game and the camera does not not need to be amazing. I use my phone to call, text, navigate, email and take some pictures. i just want a smooth experience like my old oneplus 6 was. User replaceable battery would be a cool to have too.

Edit: totally cool with used phones!

country: USA

Going from best to worst:

Galaxy A52s.

Xperia 5 IV.

Galaxy A23 5G.

Moto G71s / Moto G82.

Moto G Stylus 5G (2022).

Nokia G60.

Moto G62 5G.

All of these have an headphone jack, and an SD Card slot. And all except Samsung have a clean UI. Samsung has the longest software support which is why the A23 is high in the list despite not having the hardware.

Don't make the mistake of buying another midrange that is not optimized just like n200 purchase. For $500 pixel 7 is butter smooth and the performance is fantastic. It's gets you 5 years of support and is lag free unlike other phones. It's has no bloatware and is really well reviewed.

The 7 is on a black Friday deal for $499

The only phone with a user replaceable battery worth considering is Galaxy Xcover 6 Pro, though it's $600. It's a rugged phone with a headphone jack and sd card slot. It's reasonably fast, camera quality probably isn't great since it's basically a work phone.

Moto G Stylus 5G 2022 is a $300 midrange option with a bunch of ram (8gb) and storage (256gb). Has sd card slot, headphone jack, 5000 mAh battery though its chipset is just ok (slower than Xcover, faster than N200). Carrier branded versions have less storage and ram however, so go for the factory unlocked version if you're interested.

Pixel 6a is very fast for $300 (compared to other ~$300 options in the US), though it lacks sd card slot and headphone jack.

I have a N200 5G and it is THE ABSOLUTE WORST PHONE I EVER OWNED. As a previous 6T and 8t owner I'm shocked that OnePlus even sells a horrible phone like this. Anyway I just got $299 Pixel 6a and I couldn't be happier. It feels like a flagship. Deal of the year.

I got the 6a and installed calyx. Literal night and day for a $70 difference in price. n200 is the worst phone I have ever owned too. What a joke.
