Need a phone immediately

[DunderMifflin]

My phone screen got super damaged and I wanted to get a cheap phone ( <= $5000 NTD) immediately that would work for me for a few months without any issues.

The phones I am interested in right now such as Pixel 5 are either out of stock or have month long waits with my carrier (Taiwan Mobile). As a result, I wanted to wait until 2021 flagships roll out and use something cheap till then.

What can I do here? I’m based in Taipei, and wondering what options are available here. Are there generalist phone shops here that hold multiple brands, or second hand ones? Any recommendations on phones would also be helpful!

Many phone shops have multiple models but maybe not the budget model and not great price.

Xiaomi is rated along with top phones in the world and this is the low-end model. Walk right in the shop and buy it.

I decide to jump ship and try their top-of-the-line model in Taiwan, They decide they don’t want to sell many phones in Taiwan. Only two models marketed in the Xinyi store. [20201019_141119]
