i would also go with with old flagships like if u buy a s7 edge or s8 or note 8 or note 9 They are ip68 water resistant They have wqhd display and also all Features lije secure folder/game launcher/knox which many midrange not have and camera has no comparison with newer devices
and also the lagy ui which the latest midrangers doesn't have and even the note 9 lags and it's stuck on android 10, i am a flagship s9 user but my brother's a51 is far better in optimisation and my s9 specially exynos version is very laggy can't even play a game like pubg smoothly for an hour.
