    Looking for a rec for a used Android phone with good audio via the USB port. I plan to use a simple $50 or so dongle. I will to use USBAPP mostly for my ripped lossless files. Occasional Tidal use

    Phone should have compatibility with ALL of T-Mobile LTE 4G band and maybe some 5G but not too concerned about 5G atm.

    I hope some phone junky with a good amount of Android phone experience can jump in and help guide me. My most likely suspects might include the following simply because of the larger pool of used offerings:

    Samsung S20 series, maybe the Plus
    Some older Pixel phone
    Any Motos that are worthy
    A cheap entry level new Samsung like the current A14 5G or maybe older A13
    A more expensive used mid Samsung like the A32 or A52/53
    A Nord N30 5G - slightly used?

    Big plusses are bright outdoor nits and Gorilla 5 or better. I'm not too concerned about processor for games or video and such as long as it does not have laggy menu or touch operation.

    Thanks in advance for well vetted ideas based on personal use.
