I have a Motorola Z-Play. Large screen, goo processor, exceptional battery life. Motorola quality radio so calls are great. Bluetooth works well. Excellent camera.

Retail new $400. Today $175.

I can’t possibly justify a $1,000 phone when desktop, laptop, and tablet computers don’t cost that much.

Apple still offers the iPhone 7 & 8 at big discount so don't spring for the Pro model unless you need to film and edit 4k videos or slow motion stuff at 4k.

I like two brands for the build quality and reliability ...... Motorola and Apple.

Both have served me very well over the years. My work phone is a iPhone X thats about 2 years old that is modified with a Quad Simore system.
