    Yep, me too, but my Sony xperia 5ii has a few issues like no fingerprint reader and a battery that only lasts 3/4 of a day with light use, plus no updates for the past 3 years...

    Might have to go fairphone soon

    Only really use my phone to call family on Christmas and to receive SMS verification codes. Got a brick phone currently but thinking when I replace it I might go for a cheap second hand Android as it's cheaper than a new nokia.

    Could stick comaps on it and a few other APKs then never connect it to the internet again. Also CEX kinda give a better guarantee on second hand goods than most manufacturers do on new, pretty sure its only in store credit but it's 5 years, just get another phone in a similar price range. Plus the store credit lasts forever. As you get it in a voucher, your replacement phones 5 years would start from when you buy it.
