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. 🙂

I checked GSMarena for the most popular <$200 Android phones with decent specifications.

The top results are:-

Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 (6GB RAM, 128GB HD, Snapdragon 4 Gen 1, 48MP camera)
Samsung Galaxy A14 (6GB RAM, 128GB HD, Mediatek MT6769, 50MP camera)
Realme C53 (6GB RAM, 128GB HD, Unisoc Tiger T612, 50MP camera)
Tecno Spark 10 Pro (8GB RAM, 256GB HD, Mediatek Helio G88, 50MP camera)

Personally I'd go for the Redmi Note 12 because of the better processor.

Edit: Also, here is GSMarena's buyer guide for <€200 phones:- https://www.gsmarena.com/best_midrange_allrounders_buyers_guide-review-2032.php
