Are you aware of the company One+. Their android phones are very nice, with design and features that match Samsung. Of course their prices are now starting to match Samsung too. They were once affordable flagship phones, sub $500. Now kissing 1000+ for their top model.
I’ve seen the One+ on phone websites,but I’ve never looked at them.
I’ve had Zone phones and they’ve been ok.
I purchase brand new 2 and 3 year year old Samsung basic smart phones for under $100.00
