Hi,
I currently have an iPhone 4S, which I've had for about 3 and a half years, so at the end of my 24 month contract I just switched to sim only and kept the phone. My last Android experience was very poor in comparison - an HTC Wildfire which I wanted rid of well before the end of the 24 month contract, it was no longer compatible with updates and apps/games I wanted to download. However, a friend has convinced me to give Android another go, the HTC experience was 5 years ago and I know a lot has changed.
Ideally I'd like a phone which I'll want to keep after the end of my contract. Does anyone have any recommendations for a phone which is likely to still be able to run the latest apps/software pretty smoothly in 3 years' time? I'm looking for something similar in price to the iPhone SE (I'm in the UK by the way)
I'm a pretty light user, just use apps like Facebook/Snapchat/Gmail/Whatsapp, a few basic games, take the odd photo and occasional FB video calls.
Aside from longevity, my main concerns are the speed of the phone (the 4S has slowed down a lot over the last few months and is doing my head in) and battery life.
Someone also recommended the Google Pixel as a kind of halfway point between iPhones and Androids, so I might consider that too.
Any recommendations from anyone? Thank you in advance for any help
