I'm thinking about getting a phone just to use as a camera but I don't want to spend too much on it since that's basically my only use for it.

I also considered buying a low(ish) cost digital camera, but I'm planning on using the timer feature a lot. This means I really want a camera that is very "hand-holdy" so it can take good quality pictures without needing to see the screen/viewfinder/etc, which is why I thought a used phone might be a good option.

What are some cheap phones that have good quality cameras and camera software that don't necessarily need to have a strong processor or other flagship features?

Pixels are generally considered some of the best cameras, especially among cheap phones. Unfortunately if you want an optical zoom its only on the pro model. You could also look at used phones with a cracked screen or damage.
