Considering all the comments I’ve seen about their phone basically falling apart it kind of sounds like you should just get an iPhone SE and factor in a battery replacement after 3 years.

They did it twice; once for the upgrade to Android 9 (took 18 months) and once for the upgrade to android 10 (took 10 months)
