I only buy used "flagship" phones after getting a cheaper Samsung model forever ago, it was trash.
The camera, processor, amount of RAM, let alone custom ROM support, is worse on a new cheap Android phone than a Galaxy S or Pixel from 2-3 years before.
The camera is always much worse on cheap phones, in my experience. A pixel 3 from 5 years ago has a comparable or better camera than a cheap Android phone today, OnePlus excluded. I have a camera but don't have it with me all the time and want to take decent pictures when I need to.
