I have a redmi note 11. Lost my Samsung phone so i had to find a cheap replacement fast. Ended up liking this note 11, stellar battery life, good performance and screen. Noone needs the flashiest chip just to run telegram and shitpost on 4chan. The camera is shit but i don't care, i always tape the selfie cam and buy a case like the pic to cover the back cams.

tl;dr buy a cheap to midrange phone

I don’t understand how people could use a google phone and google play services. I’m not saying apple is perfect but real adults in business use them. Android users are mostly either poor or the strangest too much time to tinker types. iPhones are also a mix of people too but a pretty wide range of personalities and individuals use them.

But if you don’t need apps on the go, get a flip phone that works on LTE. Use it for phones, texting, tip calculator, basic html5 browser, and maybe email/calendar syncs. Use apps at home if you have a tablet like iot Devices and such. Banks and professional stuff should just be on the computer or laptop.
