Gave my Samsung S8 to my wife, have a huge payout on Freedom so I decided for the first time in my life to purchase a phone upfront.
None of the carriers offered anything decent looking for around $250 so I decided to look around.
Went on Memory Express website and found a couple of Asus phones that seemed to be decently fast.
Ended up with one of these:

Bought from Staples instead since it was closer.
So far so good, really happy with it, I'm not a heavy user so I just wanted a reasonably small device that was light and still looked good. The only downside so far I've found is it can't connect to my 5G wifi at home, turns out it has an outdated wifi receiver.
So just curious from other beyonders, if you needed a smartphone for under $300, what would you get?
The other phone I was thinking about is the LG X Power 3 but it seemed a little too big and the phone is kind of ugly whereas this phone looks like the S8 but is less "slippery" and much lighter.
