HI Guys,

I am looking to buy a phone that can give me:

• Android One type updates
• Not stealing data by installed malwares
• NFC support.

Non 5G is OK

  Motorola 20 Edge goes for $400 on sale. It's a good mid budget phone.

    Just picked this up yesterday for $340 after 15% gift cards from Coles.

    So happy with it. Massive battery, massive screen, clean Google UI. Comes with a case!

    Took a few minutes to transfer all my stuff from my Pixel 4a via the USB-C port.

    Also has a headphone jack!

    I was worried about the single speaker, coming from stereo on the 4, but it's loud enough that I'm still happy.

      Outdoor brightness is a bit low.

        And the camera is subpar coming from the Pixel 4a. Damn.

    Thanks for sharing your ideas. However I would rather pay a little extra over my data stealing apps being installed as a part of big data world war

        Focusing on facts are more important than personally target.
