Struggling to decide on what phone is best for money.

​

Tldr at the bottom.

So I've been needing a new phone for like a month now on my current phone Poco F3 I've busted the volume down button. So the way I have been adjusting volume is by clicking volume up and sliding the volume bar down. Plus the battery has degraded. Normally I don't like getting a new phone as long as my current is working but I've given myself an excuse to buy a new phone with my current one feeling as though it is hanging on its hinges.

I'm looking for a phone with a good battery, good for viewing and streaming videos (including audio as my current earphones have started bugging out as well).

So this past week I have been looking into all types of phones

From one plus 15, Poco f8 ultra and honor magic pro 7 (though I am open to other suggestions).

Initially I was going to get the one plus but now it feels a bit dodgy with them apparently going to shut down in Europe (where I am). + Apparently the audio isn't as good (more of a side note/side issue).

Poco f8 ultra looks good on paper but I used to have the F1 which I loved was a great phone until I smashed the screen to pieces. So I automatically got the new Poco without looking into it at the time. The F3 had a lot more bloat ware and had ads on certain areas of the phone, which I did not enjoy.

With the magic pro 7 it was mainly I've never had a phone with a very good camera and I was considering maybe trying a former flagship to try it out. Also the eye care has been marketed very well (idk if the eye justifies the price), also the battery isn't as big as the other 2 phones.

Tldr: I would appreciate help finding a phone with a good battery life, good/ decent camera, good audio no bloat ware (if there is I can easily get rid of it would be fine). Honestly I don't really care about having the fastest phone I don't care if it opens YouTube or an app half a second quicker. I just want a solid reliable phone with a great battery that can last and is great to watch/view stuff on. I struggle to justify buying a new flagship as imo it doesn't feel worth it. So I am open to any suggestions/help

Thx
