The best smartphone for Android development?

Question

Android

It is interesting to practice developing applications for Android.
What device would be optimal for this?
In terms of the optimal ratio of such criteria as:
- price
- the ability to
overpay for expensive devices, you don’t want to, but you also don’t want to have a cheap phone “cut off by functions”.
Does it make sense to look at the fact that the phone would be localized immediately. Or can a Russian translation be put on any android device?
Will it be profitable to order a phone somewhere over the hill, or is it better to buy here?
