Is it possible to buy a good cameraphone for less than fifty dollars?

Question

Mobile devices

A child - a young video blogger hits phones often - I'm tired of buying samsungs.
In S20, the camera suits, is it possible to find the same cheaper?
Megapixels on many write the same, but will there be the same stabilization so that you can shoot with your hand without a tripod?

Answer 1

I'm tired of buying samsungs

Buy the same Samsung, but used. The model is the S or Note, which you will find quite budgetary.
If you have time - take it from eBay, it's even cheaper there.

young video blogger hits phones often

I would focus on this, and not on choosing a phone. At 12.5 years old, having the concept of personal responsibility is quite normal.
Options:

• Buying a Chinese that is n times cheaper than S20 (with an upper limit on price) for n times replacement;
  
• Buying a "rugged phone" (rugged);
  
• Payment for a new phone at the expense of young Eisenstein's fees, from you - an "armored" case for him, possibly from the states (there are definitely such ones, they cost not a penny);
  
• On the last point, perhaps your requirement is to use a monopod, tripod, spider, or whatever, especially if Spielberg Jr. tends to be creative in situations where the phone is difficult to hold.
  

I'm tired of buying samsungs ... S20

Given the fact that I walk with Galaxy Note 4 and S7 edge, there is a feeling that almost a classic is even more relevant today than it was in its time: https://bash.im/quote/402165

Answer 2

Any used camera shoots better than a new smartphone. You can buy any used camera for a penny with a recording format of 720p. .... Even junk 10 years ago with 12 Mega pixels gives a better picture than a modern mobile phone manufactured in 2021, and such a miracle costs no more than 5-10 dollars.
Actually Megapixels is more marketing. There, the size of the matrix is ​​more important, and different f / 5.6
If it often breaks the point of buying a new one?
I suggest sending my son to study smartphone repair. For example, I have a hobby to disassemble smartphones for spare parts, I fix something, I disassemble something .... I usually buy in kilograms. Not long ago, I repaired Asus ROG Phone and bought it as scrap ...
