Please recommend a not-insanely-priced phone with good audio and video/photo capability.
I'd like to get my son a new-to-him phone for Christmas this year. He has had an iPhone 4 for years and the camera doesn't work anymore. He'll mostly use it for texting and photo/video of skateboarding sessions. I would not like to spend $1,000 on a new iPhone but I'd like him to have good sound and action-picture quality. (He has a GoPro but this is for everyday use.) Hoping to spend no more than $400? Either Apple or Android are fine. We have a good local reseller but I'd appreciate recommendations for online resellers too.

Moto g5 plus is cheap and excellent, comfortably as good as an equivalent iphone and significantly cheaper.

For a bit more than $400 you could get last year's Pixel. The Pixel had the best camera of any phone last year, only being bested by the Pixel 2.
