Poco X3 Pro.
It was very cheap (€188) with a powerful SoC. Though it does come with a caveat: reliability. I knew about this issue since I decided to buy it. It already had motherboard replaced in-warranty not once, but twice. But since I knew about this, I had backups already, so I lost just moderate amount of data. The biggest one was Termux stuff which I forgot to backup since I explicitly excluded the Android folder. Then all the apps, since there's no way to back it up without root.
I mean, the software is also quite buggy, but oh well, I can work around it.
Hardware wise, the mentioned SoC (Snapdragon 860), FM radio, headphone jack, IR blaster, 120Hz IPS LCD (I do not want *LED due to permanent burn-ins.), 5200mAh battery, easy to open (the back cover is soft plastic, so you can just rip it off without breaking anything, then glue it back).
Though now I am also looking at the idea of PinePhone.
Next time I'll probably take something with MediaTek SoC instead, due to MTK engineer mode (
*#*#3646633#*#*) due to changes by my carrier. Specifically, I am looking at the band-lock feature.188€ for a brand new Snapdragon 855 is a crazy good deal.
That was nearly 2 years ago when I got it.
