For me it’s Motorola G72. It’s excellent for the price. The phone is super lightweight despite having a 5,000 milliamper battery. The UI is very snappy and animations are very smooth (high refresh rate). It supports double tap on the back plus all other neat Motorola gestures. The under display fingerprint scanner works extremely well.
Samsung Galaxy XCover 6Pro
Headphone jack, micro SD slot, dual sim, user removable battery, notification led, ip68, 120hz display and the rubber/plastic back and sides feels great in hand. Also costs around $600
I’ve been rocking it for a month or 2 now and it is the best! I’m able to watch YouTube in bed, while charging, with wired earbuds. On a trip I was able to swap out the battery instead of recharging.
It is also SIGNIFICANTLY faster than the xcover pro and has way better battery life. A world of a difference.
I just wish I could find an external charger for the spare battery. I had one for my previous device but can’t find one for the XCover
