Phone broke down / investing in a smartphone

Hello

My phone recently broke down and its not fixable.

Basically, any recommendation for a rather future proof smartphones in the 250 to 350$ range since it became an investment even more today than before?

I couldn't care less about camera or any other fancy options, i only care about battery, RAMs and longevity (all my phones usually last 4 to 5 years)

Thank you

Xiaomi is good value for money, you can also consider honor, Oppo which are also value for money. I would go for the F3 which is available in Lebanon for the specs you stated.
Some recommendations:
Xiaomi Poco F3 ~350$
Xiaomi Mi 11X ~450$
Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro ~550$

Xiaomi works ---better value than Samsung at this point in time.  If you want a Samsung, maybe the A51 or M31--the M series have huge batteries if you care about that aspect.   Xiaomi has a Redmi sub brand and they will sort of pick and choose what upgrades they give you (refresh rate, memory, storage, cameras, etc.)---if you find something you like, it should be in your price range.

Check out the Poco X3 Pro or the F3

Ridiculous phones for the money!

Another vote for the Poco F3. You get a ridiculously good phone for the price. Both Samsung's less expensive and more expensive offerings (A32 and A52) don't hold a candle to the X3 Pro and the F3. However, Samsung has already promised 3 years of software updates even for those phones. Not sure about Xiaomi.
