There's really a lot of good value devices out there once you get past the barely functional underpowered cheapo range.
Also though.. you spent $250 on a phone just while waiting for your main phone to be repaired?
Once I knew it was $600 to repair, I bought a cheaper phone. I had plans to buy a used version of my flagship and raid it for parts, but in the end, it just didn't pencil out financially.
Plus, I hadn't had a phone for a week+ and it was getting difficult to do work since my job requires 2FA on personal devices (a terrible idea, btw).
