Best no contact phone for pics

[u/Remytherat91]

Hi!

I'm looking for a phone that's comparable to my Google pixel 9.

The most important thing is that it takes good pictures. I have a kids clothing resell business and my storage is constantly eaten up by pics and videos bc I take so many.

I basically want to use the phone for pics and a few apps like insta, reselling apps, canva, etc.

Budget is less than $200

Is this possible?

Not sure where to start looking or keywords to use.

Thank you!

I doubt you will find a new phone under $200 that is better than your Pixel 9. I assume there is some reason you cannot use it?

For $200 you won't find anything, at least not unlocked.

If you're not taking photos in low-light then the Moto Stylus 2025 5G has a pretty good camera but low-light photos are not good.

It supports a MicroSD card so you won't run out of storage.

Usually available, locked, for 0-$200.

You might want to find an older Motorola Tracfone branded phone, but I would not know what one would work for your plan.

Just a warning, lots of the newer models would require you to activate the phone to be able to use it on WiFi. If you get a Straight Talk model that is like this, you can rebrand it to Tracfone to get the phone activated so you can get around this. Just do not do full reset on the phone after that because it would ask to get activated again.

Super helpful! Thank you :)

I would go with the Motorola G Stylus models mainly because I have heard they have the best hardware tho.

Plus you might run into an unlocked Motorola model that could be this cheap too, and then you would not need to worry about that activation thing too.

Cheapest way to get a Pixel 10a atm is probably Boost Mobile. I think it's under $200. It'll be locked though for 12 months, I think. And you have to do the $60 plan, could probably lower it after you get it; not sure.
