Looking for suggestions for a new (to me) device. Help appreciated!

Hi Lemmy,

I'm in the market for a new phone as my galaxy S10+ that I've had for ~5 years has a dying screen. I haven't really been paying attention to the market in the same number of years, so I"m not sure what to go for and I would really appreciate your recommendations!

Some info:

• My budget is definitely no more than 700 EUR (preferably under 500, but I'm willing to make concessions)
• I'm expecting to buy refurbished to save money, so the device need not be from this generation
• I prioritize:
  • a high quality panel with high refresh rate, could be nice with LTPO
  • Hardware that is at least as capable as the S10+
  • All-day battery life
  • Preferably flat screen

I don't really care about the camera, I'm sure most these days are serviceable for the few pictures I take.

I'm very interested in the Nothing phone 2, but it's just at the edge of my price range so I'm trying to see if I can find something that scratches the same itch, both in specs and form factor (but I'm sure that's too much to ask). Any advice would be appreciated!
