@darius I bought a cheap Nokia about 1.5 years ago when I borked my aged Galaxy S8 and the Nokia was nearly un-f***-ing useable. It was bought brand new and claimed to be supported, with future updates promised. It was by far the WORST phone I have ever used, and the most miserable fact was I had bought it new. I cracked the screen within a few weeks and even managed to replace it (despite the glued battery) but I wouldn’t bother trying to use it again—even the literal phone app would occasionally crash or glitch out. It was sooo bad.
For cheap Android the clear path to go is a 3-4 year old decent condition former flagship if you need a cheap phone. I’m using an S10e I bought about a year ago for that reason, and my next phone might be a Pixel 4 if I am forced to move on.
