    If it were me, I would not spend the extra money on a 5G phone at the moment.

    I think the biggest problem you have with a £300 phone is you probably won't get many updates, so having it for 4-5 years means the software won't be supported for that long.  Motorola (under Lenovo now) are atrocious with updates.  If you can stretch your budget to £379 the OnePlus Nord is a great 5G phone (guaranteed two major Android updates).  I wouldn't bother buying it from CEX though, because it's not much cheaper than buying new (in the case of A-grade it's more expensive).
