Moving from an S20FE to an A26 5G?

[gomezz]

With the security updates on the S20 range coming to an end I was wondering if I really need a flagship S series phone or if I would be served well enough by a budget A Series model?

I am not that fussed by camera specs nor about watching videos nor gaming. Apart from being used as a basic call-making, messaging phone my main usage is for listening to music and podcasts while in the work van or going for walks. As long as it also runs Google Maps for occasional use and a bit of light browsing to check up on things while on the move that is about it.

Have I missed anything out that I should be thinking about? Any other advice?

For everyday things like calls and browsing, the A26 5G is a good pick. It's smooth enough too. No need to spend big if that’s all that’s needed.

After feedback from elsewhere and a bit more digging a possible alternative that I can get at a similar budget price is the Moto G75. Will bear this in mind while I continue to cogitate on this ...

... How much will I miss OneUI and Bixby though? Definitely wouldn't miss the Samsung bloatware!
