Best Budget Smartphone

For all those who know the smartphone world, what would you say is the best budget phone that fits the following criteria:

* Running Android 5.0 or up

* Around $300 (or less)

* 5 in. screen or less

* Reliable company (not a Chinese garbage phone)

* Good battery life (preferably with removable battery)

* Good camera

* SD card slot

Please do not turn this into a “smartphone, Internet, filter” thread. There are plenty of those. If you have an answer, leave it here. If not, don’t hijack my thread.

Thanks for your help!
