Realme, Redmi and Poco are all made by Xiaomi.
I recently got a Poco X3 Pro and I'm very pleased with it. Fast processor and big battery that should last you all day. Downside is the camera is nowhere as good as the one on my old Pixel. Screen is only LCD but it's fine, think the 9t has an amoled. They give you a clear case and a preinstalled screen protector.
Look for the phone that has the specs you need.

My Mi A1 is still going strong in the hands of my daughter - I like them.

I gave it serious consideration. They get good reviews but I decided against buying one. Why? New kid on the block, no history, no track record. I spent an extra £100 and got a Samsung.

That was one of my reservations Paul.

Very much an established kid on the block. They're huge now - I mean really huge. The biggest huge!

Apparently the phones DO have bloatware but there are videos on YouTube showing you how to delete most of it.

If no bloatware is key, then search Android One phones. They run pure Android as it comes from Google and a number of manufacturers produce them.

Do they support WhatsApp Bonefish?

To answer the question, no, I don't know that model, but FWIW, I was interested when both my daughters - chalk & cheese, and from very different young circles, but very much on the grid daddyo - independently ended up choosing Huawei P30s. They seem happy with them.
Personally I've taken to buying a 'couple of releases back' flagship Samsung on eBay. My S7 edge has been fantastic for three years, but is just beginning to show signs of a dying battery, so I may be googling 'best phone of 2019' soon, and my guess is that for what I want from a phone, the Samsung will hit the spot. Bloatware used to be a real issue, but with 64 or 128Mb it's a minor irritant at worst. And as I say to my girls, Samsung software sucks, but the hardware is bulletproof.

What about the Play Store ban?
I've heard quite controversial opinions about this model. Cannot really say anything specific.
