I had a Fairphone before this. The idea behind it, is that every part of the phone can be manually replaced. Unfortunately I managed to leak some oily hummus into the charging port. After a 80 euro repair it still was broken. I didn’t really feel like spending 100-200 euro’s fixing the phone with the chance of it being completely fucked, so I bought a new one.
The Fairphone was decent. It had a shit camera but everything else was pretty solid for a basic phone. The battery was still lasting more than a day at 2+ years of age. Their new one is a bit expensive though.
I don’t use my phone that much except for WhatsApp and some social media, so a basic phone is good enough for me. The OnePlus I have now is affordable and decent, can recommend.
You could have exchanged that phone if you were in India while buying the phone online, if you were not planning on fixing and using it again in future. Could have saved few more bucks. Don’t know if exchange offers available in Europe too.

Was it fairphone 3?
Yeah it was lol. Offers like that probably exist but I still have pictures I need to transfer etc.
You can use KDE Connect to transfer over wifi if USB is not working.
