Planning on getting a new smart phone

[tanithryudo]

My company is requiring a duo security software that isn't supported on the Android 5 that my old phone is still running. So I am finally pressured into actually buying a new phone.

Now, I'm not looking for a top tier phone. I don't plan on playing games on it since I prefer to play my mobile games on PC using Bluestacks. That said, I would like to have a decent camera and storage space so I don't have to worry about micromanaging junk files all the time.

A quick search on amazon and google, I came up with two models, both in the mid price range.

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G - larger display, better CPU, microsd slot
Google Pixel 5 5G - starts with Android 11, more RAM, slightly longer battery

Hm... let me ponder this overnight.

EDIT: Decided to go with the Pixel 5. I've had Samsung for the last couple of phones now. Curious about trying out Google's phone.

Note to self: Based on my amazon purchase history of phone accessories, I got my last Samsung phone in summer of 2014, which means it's 7 years old. My tablet dates to the same year, either late Nov (black friday sale) or early Dec.

I was just never...motivated enough to replace the phone, lol. I don't actually use it for much. Blame laziness.

LOL. Well, which model did you settle on?
