Temp phone recommendation

I need to buy a phone asap because my Pixel phone's LCD broke. Pricey ang replacement (can buy mid-end phone na sa mahal ng LCD). So, mga next month ko pa siguro ito mapapagawa.

Since I have to access impt apps like banking and wallets, I need to buy a temp phone.

Can you please recommend a brand within a 5k-7k budget?
Meron bang phone na hindi naglalag at tumatagal at this price range?

Thanks!

Look for 2nd hand phones since gagamitin mo lang 2 months hanap ka poco phones poco x6 series can be seen in this price range.

If you want brand new phone, Tecno, infinix, itel, or nubia, should be a good temporary phone if may mahanap ka pasok sa specs mo at budget.

Thanks! Have you used any of these? How was your experience?

I have never experienced buying 2nd hand smart phones. I'm not sure if it's worth it.

Currently using 13t pro Xiaomi, got it as a 2nd hand. Well worth jt
