Hiya experts,

lets say you only had around £100/$135 to spend but you had to get the absolute best phone you could. What would you do?

What, in your opinion, is the best phone for around £100/$135?

I would love to own an Essential PH-1 but the cheapest ones are just slightly out of my price range. Good memory size and a nice processor are important to me. I listen to music, want as much storage as possible and like to browse youtube and Reddit. But I am on my phone all the time due to being in a long-distance relationship. So camera is quite important but not essential.

Give it to me straight. What do you think I have to sacrifice to get a great cheap phone?

Edit: got the name of the Essential wrong.
