Phones in Panama are cheap and I'm thinking of picking one up while I'm here. do you have any Android recommendations, general or specific?

I prefer front-facing speakers, my hardware requirements seem to be mostly taken care of with modern phones here(8gb ram, newer snapdragon, expandable storage) for $200-300.
I buy phones infrequently and haven't heard of most of these new companies so I'm curious what people recommend these days.
In this place. Likely a significant segment only use pixel's because of Graphene OS, but that may be changing soon because google is doing worthless stupid shit and making Android much less open source in practice.
I don't ever shop for hardware specifications for anything any more. I look for hardware that open source software projects support, and try to buy whatever the lead developers seem to own based on the repo history visualization in the gource package on Linux. All mobile system-on-chip (processors) and cell modems are undocumented proprietary junk and running proprietary orphaned kernels. So all available devices are just rentals at ownership prices. This is classic criminal extortion. I don't trust software from any criminal enterprise such as this, so I shop for who creates the best alternative available without criminal control as much as possible. Graphene or Lineage OS are two common options.
I can certainly agree about Google, I can't believe the poor quality of their phones/software compared to pretty much everything I've bought abroad.
and I'm on the same page as you with hardware specs these days.
and the OS options, ha.
