The best budget Android phone I've tested is not made by Samsung or Motorola
Briefly

The CMF Phone 1 exemplifies a well-designed budget smartphone, with a striking balance of functionality and aesthetics that exceeds expectations for its price point.
Key design choices, such as symmetrical bezels, a user option for launcher setup, and a focus on essential camera features, elevate the CMF Phone 1 beyond typical budget phones.
Even with its DIY elements, the Phone 1's effective build and premium features—like dark mode by default and a 50-megapixel main camera—render it a highly competitive option.
With prices varying between $239 to $289, the CMF Phone 1 stands out as the best budget device tested this year, emphasizing thoughtful design over excessive specs.
