I got an Oppo A54s (6.5" Screen , 128MB Storage) Couple of years old now, has all the bells and whistles most of which I never use, was around $300 at the time ( Harvey Norman) , comes with Android 13.
Its quite a tough little device, had MANY a bounce test, saved I suspect probably due to the leather style case its in.
Dont be suckered into some Name brands and pay $$$$$$, LOTS of others that do the same for less.
Sure they are. When your income is $438 a week and most of it goes on sharing the bills.
I sure can't afford a weeks pay on a phone
Save up for one then. The problem with 2nd hand phones is they are sometimes ( often) out of date or there's a fault with them, hence people getting rid of. There was a article on Fairgo the other week, iphone 6 out of date and the banks app wont work anymore.
Basically throwing away your money on someone's rubbish. Looking around here, there's a few older Androids, wouldn't even give them away as they are unreliable, slow as a wet week even with a new install or to out of date for some apps (like you mentioned yours is).
The latest Android is 14, (15 is on the way) so really anything ( at a guess) older that 12 and it will soon be out of date for some apps.
Upgrades = Old bugs replaced with new Bugs.
