A used Samsung Galaxy S21 that you can buy on Ebay should meet your needs at your price point.

You should suggest a preferred resolution, and also the types of photos you will be taking. Some phones do better on closeups, some are better in low-light, some offer wide angle, etc.

I have always bought Motorola unlocked phones from Amazon and have had very good luck. They come with plain vanilla Android, which is a big plus. I can’t think of any feature a higher end phone has. I get unlocked so I can use it with Tracfone. You should be able to get a good Motorola phone for under $150.

Just get a cheap, low-res phone and learn to love the enlargement results...

If you want images that scale up without distortion, get an I-Phone.
They have a better format.
A co-worker who works with images described the format of Microsoft as “being put in a box”.

“My phone started overheating yesterday really bad. I knew already I wanted to replace it with one that has a camera with high resolution because I need to take some photos and enlarge them.”

If your old phone was OK, replace with the same or post your phone model.

Deprecated OS but the Lumia 1020 has a 41Mp camera. That should get you to viable print sizes.

I’m an iPhone user, but I wholeheartedly agree, get a new Motorola, just make sure it meets your desired spec.

Sounds like you need a digital camera, preferably one with Bluetooth or WiFi.

Check backmarket.com. My family has bought several phones from there and have been very pleased.

Get a real camera. Don’t waste your time and money on a phone camera. It doesn’t matter how many pixels it has when you have a lens the size of a BB.

I buy one of those cheap Samsung phones from tracfone every year.

They are 59.95 w free ship and come with a year of prepaid service.

The phone seems pretty good to me, they may have other cheap phones w even better cams.

I just keep these phones in the glove compartment in case I forget my regular phone and need to take a photo or make an emergency call.

After the 1yr of serviced runs out I transfer the one year of minutes and network data to a new 59.95 phone.

I have like 4000 minutes on the latest phone I got... I use the phones that have been retired as remote network cameras... they do that well.

Just search ebay for "Tracfone Samsung A03S + 1 Year of Service" and you will find the phone.

Google 7 Pro is over 2 years old now. The optics on this thing take much better pictures than I ever could!

A used iPhone will take great pics and will just work, every time, for years. Life is too short for Android.
