Currently using an Essential Ph1. Paid $100 for it. Runs fast. Faster than my friends newer phones.

I see no reason to pay hundreds of dollars for a phone. I'd rather pay $130 for a good condition Pixel 5 that has the features I want, and I can afford to keep a testing phone around or use it as a hot spare, and still pay less than a "new" phone.
