I mean in that case, it would be best to not own any smartphone at all. Not having one manufactured at all is always the best option. And if you buy used, you're helping someone else finance their next new phone down the line, so even that is worse than simply not owning a phone at all.
So the most ethical thing to do is steal someone's phone.
There are so many pragmatic possibilities that it shouldn’t be needed to present a false binary.
