128GB Google Pixel 8a
The 128GB Google Pixel 8a smartphone is as good as it gets for a budget-priced Android device, and you can get one for $399 shipped, originally $499. You may not even need a case, as its IP67 protection and rugged design means it can handle slips, spills, as well as dust without any issue. Product page.

Featuring a 6.1″ OLED (1080 x 2400 resolution) screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, a Google Tensor G3 (4 nm) processor, 8GB of RAM, a dual rear camera system (64MP Main + 13MP Ultra-Wide), a 13MP selfie camera, a USB Type-C 3.2 port, and a 4,492mAh battery that can last for over 24-hours of continuous use or 72-hours when Extreme Battery Saver mode is activated.

The Google Pixel 8a has most of the same features as the higher end Pixels at a more friendly price. Very solid. Great screen. Very fast. Features the Gemini AI system. One of the best cameras you can buy. Very easy to set up and it was easy to switch phones on Mint Mobile — just a matter of removing the SIM card from the old phones and placing it in this one (it also has eSIM capability). It was on sale for $450, unlocked,” said one reviewer.
