I need one for general purposes only, NOT for gaming, so I don't really care about gaming-related features.

I'm going to buy it in Asia, as that's where I live (Vietnam specifically), and would appreciate any advice. 🙂

A general rule of thumb is to get a year or two old flagship instead of a budget new one. One can usually find a great deal on something like S21 Ultra or similar.

100% - also try and budget to get the battery replaced with this method though, most modern smartphone batteries start showing significant wear after 2 years

What's the best way to find actually good flagships of the past? I mean, to learn of which model was good.
