I’m thinking about getting a phone just to use as a camera but I don’t want to spend too much on it since that’s basically my only use for it.

I also considered buying a low(ish) cost digital camera, but I’m planning on using the timer feature a lot. This means I really want a camera that is very “hand-holdy” so it can take good quality pictures without needing to see the screen/viewfinder/etc, which is why I thought a used phone might be a good option.

What are some cheap phones that have good quality cameras and camera software that don’t necessarily need to have a strong processor or other flagship features?

      Right now I’m targeting sub 200USD (used), but the lower the better since I’m not sure how much use I’ll actually be getting out of it.

      When I looked online, I saw some used/ C-stock Pixel 6/ Pixel 6 Pros which are pretty close. Surprisingly, I didn’t see a huge drop in price between the 6a and the 6/ 6 Pro (or at least but as much as I was expecting).

      At this point I’m hoping the price will drop after/around Black Friday.
