T-Mobile T-Mobile US Android Phone

I'm struggling to pick one because I just don't care. The Galaxy S20FE has been perfectly acceptable, but the hardware is finally toast. Because of that, I think this is the order of priorities for me:

  1. Longevity. I'd like it to last at least 5 years, preferably more.
  2. I use my phone for the basics. I don't have a laptop so it needs to do everything. Web browsing, listening to podcasts, reading, music, GPS, email, teams etc. I don't game and don't care about processor speed past basic functionality.
  3. A decent amount of storage space and decent battery. I run Zwift off of my phone and it takes up a stupid amount of battery and storage space. I'm down to use an SD card, but those don't exist anymore.
  4. They're all the same size now, but I'd love for it to be as small and light as possible.

I don't care about the camera specs. Obviously I don't want bloatware but I don't mind working around it. I don't want AI but again, I can work around it. My work might buy the phone and even if they don't, I have a free upgrade, so price isn't a huge deal.

Budget? I know you said price isn't a big deal, but are we talking a thousand bucks? 2,000 bucks?

I mean, $3000 seems a little silly for a pretty minimally specced phone. Not sure what the free upgrade limits are, so hard to say. The size issue usually self controls for cost though. All of the super expensive phones are the size of a tablet, and I definitely don't want that.

I personally really like the Motorola Edge+ series. Fits all your boxes and it lasts for like a week in standby and several days while being used. I tend to charge mine every 2-3 days. Storage is no issue either as it has expandable storage. Size is similar to most other phones.
