Hi there. A friend in the Netherlands wants a new phone.

The following are kinda the only things they care about, like, at all:

- security updates (and OS updates ideally I guess). They replace their phone very rarely. Companies these days have lovely policies. Samsung seems to be the only one with an acceptable 4/5 years of promised security updates on their budget models galaxy A05S and galaxy M34. All other companies are worse they say.
- enough memory so minimum 128
- battery life
- 5g would be nice

Everything else is not very important.

So, any alternatives to Samsung?

Pixel 7a perhaps? Depends how much they want to spend really, but the 7a seems to tick all those boxes.

Thanks for the advice, I passed it along. Yes, they were looking for something more budget. But yeah, we're kinda concluding that there are just not many options for that little money.
