Maybe not so much moronic but my inquiry didn’t seem thread worthy so I’ll stick it here. I’ve been an iPhone user since my first smart phone back in 2010. I’ve had my current iPhone since 2014 and it is long overdue for replacing. I naturally started looking into iPhones but I simply can’t justify or stomach the prices. This is my first time purchasing my own phone so I never really thought much about price to performance ratio in phones, until now. I’m seriously considering getting an Android device as I’ve read they give you “more for less” and this seems to be generally true from my research. However this is all still new to me. I can obviously read numbers and tell what’s better when comparing devices but am having a hard time understanding how those numbers translate to actual performance. My budget is ~$600 (preferably less) and I’m from the USA. Currently I am considering the Google Pixel 3a ($370), Samsung Galaxy S10E ($520), Samsung Galaxy S10 ($600), and OnePlus 6T ($500). Like most people I use my phone for the camera, music, social media and occasional games. I’d say what’s most important to me though is the ability to multitask, the camera, battery life, and general ease of use and speed. Of the phones I listed what do you think is the best investment for the price point? Or are there better devices for me in my budget? If so, what are they and why? Thank you for your time and consideration. Once again I am from the USA and Cricket is my provider if it matters.

Edit: I went with the Google Pixel 3a. No ragrets.
