Take Samsung Galaxy S9 or similar phone, but Xiaomi for the fraction of the price.
Pixel 4a (4G) must be for you. If you need much cheeper, it's Xiaomi's chance.
Why not a Nexus 5? It didn't skimp on any of those things and is $349 unlocked on the Play store.
Yes. It's half the price of other flagship phones.
It's not as wallet melting costly as other phones like iPhone and Samsung, atleast in the US.
My over two year old Xiaomi (mi max 3) cost just under that, it still works fine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A cheap Android phone might be easier.
Save your money and buy a Pocophone F1 for $300https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=9256&idPhone2...
You don't want the cheapest. Better something nice like a Xiaomi Mi A1. It is part of the Android One program (clutter free stock Android, timely updates) and doesnt cost a fortune.
I want a phone like this but I'm not willing to pay $500 for it.
