What's the budget? Motorola has some great options, Android Central recommends the Moto G6 as the best budget phone.
Good list:

I'd say $200 or less. Refurb/used would also be an option.
My officemate has the Moto G6 and likes it but it's super slippery due to the glass back.
The Essential will be $250 when Prime Day starts in an hour.

Love mine so much I bought one for my wife, and she loves it too.
Too big. 5.0" screen max.
Going with the Moto E4. PITA sorting through the Amazon listings though. Some reviews say the "Unlocked" model is actually Verizon branded and locked. Might have to go with the Prime Exclusive Amazon lockscreen ad BS model.
