Looking for a new phone

Looking for a new phone $300-350 range.   The Xiaomi poco x3 pro global seems to have a decent positive feed back from ppl on RFD and it's in the budget range.  Worried about the missing bands and how that will affect the phone, a post on RFD said the missing bands are more important in BC vs rest of Canada.    Does anyone here know how big an issue it would be ?  I'm in Victoria BC 

 

Any other suggestions for an android phone ?

@mimmo    poco x3 pro does not have both B12 and B17, right?

 

from the note from sheytoon:

Any phone you are considering should ideally have 3G B2, B5 and LTE B4 (or B66 instead of B4), B12 (or B17 instead of B12)

 

so this phone missing both these 2 critical LTE bands?
