What's the best budget (sim-only) android phone, new not refurb you can get atm? WIth priorities of longevity, battery life.
Like around let's say around £200.
I see there this Nothing phone people seem to recommend online, seems to be a spinoff of OnePlus, has Nothing OS (on top of android or something?), but people warn it only has a guarantee of 2 years of updates.
I've had my phone for like 5 years, and it's finally playing up:(
trying my reddit type question on #asknostr lol ;)
I cannot whole heartedly recommend any android phone other than Google, since they're the only OEM I know that don't skimp out on the monthly and quarterly android updates, every other manufacturer including Samsung will not reliably get these updates meaning less security.
pixel 7a
seems to be highly recommended but also £329 new :/
why new? buy a used onde ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
bad experiences with them, basically buying a 2nd hand phone, so less time on their longevity clock
it's been 15 years since I've last bought a new one :3
you've had the same phone for 15 years??? or you haven't bought a new one in 15 years? how many phone shave you got through in those 15 years if so? :)

I've had about 7 or 8 since then, all refurbished, ser. four atm: an old Samsung hotspot, a xiaomi note 12 pro for errands, a pixel 7a for general purposes and a 8 pro for conspiracies :3
you have FOUR phones on the go at the same time????
what is wrong with you? lol:)
lmao, narcos and moraes are wrong with me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i'm keeping an eye on you too now. I've seen City of God.
I like to have a phone for about 5 years or something, so 2nd hand ones. I had a pocophone for flipping ages and ages. I should look at what xiaomi are up to nowadays, although I think they put their prices up :(
