My father in law bought a huwali ? Thing lasted him 2hrs gave it to his Son..
I have a Huawei P30 that looks and operates like a new phone until my whim got the better of me and I got a redmi note 10 pro, both are midrange and will be used for working with. The Huawei is 3-4yrs old and I expect it to last at least double that unless I brick it!
I will only buy midrange phones even for arduino projects etc. My daily is a flagship oneplus that is as good as my mates iphone 13 and even has a better screen resolution than the 13.
I’m like a phone shop- choose a different one every day ?
Budget, budget Android phones are unkown teritory. They do the basics and get good reviews for doing so, but longetivity is anyones guess!
