Budget: $300. This friend of mine shoots with his phone and only looks at his images on his phone. He has some vague issues with his phone pics "some are blurry" and wants to up his game. He knows I shoot professionally and figured I'd know the $300 market (!)

One thing to consider: does he only want to view his images on his phone? If so, then you need to consider how to get the pictures out of the camera and onto his phone. Canon's CameraConnect app works well for this but you'll need a camera that has WiFi.

KEH has a G9X (LN-) and an S120 (EX+) for $313. Perhaps something like that will work for your friend.
