Current phone? Looking to get my next £200 android, lol.
Samsung A15. Seems fine. Don't want to 100% recommend it, as I'm not a full hardware spec nerd, and someone may know better.
How's the camera?
Seems OK. My gf said it takes good photos. I am so not a photo person, tho. I'd look online for a better answer.
I have a pixel 6 rn and am pretty happy with it. Just checked backmarket and they're going for ~$160 USD. Solid battery, pretty quick, great camera, no 3rd party bloat, 128GB ssd. You could do a lot worse for the price
Doesn't it have a lot of bloat cos of the Google stuff?
The google-branded phones (Nexus / Pixel) are aimed towards developers. While they ship with the full suite of Google applications, the real reason anybody buys these phones is to plug them in to ADB, unlock the bootloader, and flash custom firmware.
Graphene OS.
Google phones are known for being basically just pure stock android without much bloat. That's like the entire purpose of their existence.
