I would look at an iPhone SE which starts at $399. Apple iPhones usually last at least 5 or 6 years.

The 4 was a downgrade from the 3. You're better off getting the 4a.

This is also a great choice. The 2020 iPhone SE.

Looks like Band 14 is only used by first responders so it is a moot point so it looks like the Pixel 3 or 4a is my best bet. Thanks. I have 6 months to decide. I replaced the screen on my Pixel 1 for $30 and it is working well again.

One thing to keep in mind is that only the Pixel 1 has unlimited original quality photo backup.

Another one that you might want to consider is the Samsung A42. It costs about 400. I recently got one and even with moderate use the battery lasts nearly 1.5 days.

By then we'll be talking about the 5A.

In that price range the Pixel 4A new @ $350 is the one to beat.

I've just never cared for Apple since the days of Mac vs Windows PC's with their overpriced proprietary parts and software. I prefer PC's, Linux, Android...
