Under $300 IMO, that gets you a used flagship model from 1-2 years ago that isn't too much different from the current models.
- The issue is that currently the 1-2 years used flagships have a lot of issues
  Samsung S21 and S22 have bad batteries, not even talking about Exynos if OP is based in the EU
  Pixel 6 and 7 have bad connectivity and also some battery issues
  OnePlus aren't what they used to be
  That reduces quite a lot what should be the main source of used flagships
  
  Every generation has issues to be fair, I have an S21 and it's been great.
  
  Interesting, Snapdragon or Exynos?
  
  Snapdragon on mine
  
  P7 only has connectivity issues in third world countries like the US. It's not a problem in Europe
  
  Well, you never know where people are, so it's safe to warn a 300 millions country
