Moto G62 5G is the best choice - no bloat & no unnecessary push notification ads & nagwares because of stock android.

Else, I liked Samsung F23 5G, got it for my mother as she wanted call recording w/o announcement.

How is IQOO Z6 with 44W Fast Charging ?

Avoid, get iqoo Z6 5G instead if you want something at that price. No point in getting a 4G smartphone. IPS LCD isn't too bad vs AMOLED.

Blindly ignore all oppo or vivo phones unless they are Realme or iQoo, in which case they might be decent for the price.

Poco X5 5G has same specs as iqoo Z6 5G except for AMOLED panel. Xiaomi's glory days are over, they are just not competitive enough these days. X5 & X5 Pro boots android 12 for a phone launched in 2023. Xiaomi is already bad in terms of OS updates, 1 version older means at best this 2023 phone will get android 14, which most 2022 phones at this price will get as well.

Why not Moto?

Does that call recording without announcement really work?
