I didn't know where to put this so apologies if tech tips isn't right.
My barely 1 year old Motorola Edge 40 Neo is failing so I'll need to replace it soon. Don't want anything fancy/complicated, just want to be able to navigate around town, have a few apps, up to date Android OS, dual sim.
Any suggestions?

I like my Moto G22, which is a couple of years old now.

What about a Google pixel 9a?

We have the Moto G53 and happy with that

I have a Redmi note which I like a lot.

After spending ages comparing prices and reviews, I bought a Nokia G60 and have been very happy with it. Very good value!

@annlee3817 The 2 moto phones recommended look like the way to go. I'm reluctant to spend much over £100 if I may not get more than a year or so of use (the Edge has been very disappointing).
Thank you very much, guys!

My Redmi Note 11 has been brilliant. I'm sure they have much newer versions now. It was recommended to me for good battery life.
