Like what, though? What is a need you have that your smartphone does not currently serve?

In 2017 I bought a Lenovo P2. It had a midrange processor, 64gb of storage (pretty decent for the time), amoled screen, audio jack, 5100 mAh battery, and a price tag of €350.

I only had to charge it every other day, video looked amazing and it was decently prized.

I want my phone to be usable with a dock where I can put in a keyboard, mouse and screen to use as a PC like the steam deck.
