Reasonably priced phone with new features and good memory
My current phone is LG Expressions Plus (LM-X410ASR)
It's only been two weeks and it definitely seems to be slowing.
2 GB Memory
Based on this article, it seems that 2 gb - 4 gb is the standard recommendation.

I can't tell if the LG Stylo 4 has fingerprint, and would prefer both wireless charging and port built-in.

Could you accept a refurbished phone? Your budget is too low for a new one with both wireless charging and port built-in?

I removed the budget but yes, potentially.
I have re-worded the original question.
Based on what I am reading in that article, 4 gb of RAM might be better today

32 gb refers to storage.
I need 4 gb of memory.

Item model number is SM5G930UZKAXAA which means that it is SM-G930U.

Look at the link above regarding the memory of 4GB.
I am the owner of SAMSUNG S7 Edge. SAMSUNG S7 is having the same amount of memory as SAMSUNG S7 Edge. I got my SAMSUNG S7 Edge which is a used one from a local forum for trading used items and it costs me less than $100.

Can you confirm which model has 4gb, unlocked, with wireless charging and fingerprint, as well as a link to it?
Not all Samsung S7 are equal from what I am seeing

Ok so this one SM-G930U does appear to have
4gb
unlocked
wireless charging
fingerprint
But the screen is downright tiny.
I need to send it back and get a larger size.
Assistance is still greatly appreciated.

Now I have a number. I'm trying to get to at least 6.01 on the screen size. That's the Moto Z3 that a friend has. But hers does not have wireless charging.
I think it is better to close this question first and ask a related question as this question has already been answered.
LG Expressions Plus is only an entry level Android smartphone and your budget is too low for a new phone with wireless charging capability.
I can only find a refurbished one but the cost is over $100.

Before President Trump declares trade war against China, your budget might be possible for buying phones from phone manufacturers in China.
Unless there is any cease fire for trade wars, you might need to wait for Walmart to source some phones which are designed for the India market.
