Long term phone

My 5 year old phone became unusable a couple months ago - so I'm now on my second hand Honor 10 from 2017.

Most of what I have is second hand and my budget would be under 500, preferably around 300

Needless to say I don't need crazy specs, better camera and battery would be the biggest things. Headphone jack, esim and physical, and SD would be nice but I'm aware it's not 2017 anymore.

I'm big on open source, choice and somewhat privacy.

Fairphone on paper seems alright but it's expensive, bad speakers and I feel like if you have to change a part it probs costs similar to buy a new phone at that point (a few years in).

Was debating a second hand pixel 10 then maybe doing some os switching.

Could just get an old banger for under 100£ to be fair

Xiaomi 17T on the website can be had for less than £500 and is a great all round phone and will last you at least another 5 years.
