OK, all you computer gurus! I have been using a Black Friday Special from five years ago, a Motorola moto e5. I'm ready for something better. I don't use it very often. Access to the internet would be nice. Mostly I just want something that works. My current phone often fails to connect to an incoming call when I swipe, and always changes screens to a default when I don't want it to. Any suggestions for less than $200? Thanks!
