7 years is pretty ancient for a phone these days so i would say you did good

If you want a decent phone that works and wont break the bank look at the Motorola line, the Moto G in particular. I have recommended to several family/friends and all good feedback. You can get some of the models new for $200 or less, so no making payments to your carrier, or if you are on prepaid you can just buy outright and put it on your line.

This one is worth a look

If you want to spend more the newer Samsung S22+ is really nice. Carriers sometimes offer these for really good deals
