What I look for in a smartphone is “plain vanilla” Android without any of the uninstallable bloatware installed by the likes of Samsung.

Where do you find this, other than in Google’s phones which don’t accept SD cards or have sufficient internal memory? Nokia is no longer the company it once was (literally - for phone branding purposes the name was bought from Microsoft by HMD Global).

I had a microsoft phone and wish it had not been abandoned. Then I bought an LG G5, because it has a very easy to replace battery and I hope I never have to buy another phone. I have not found anything it won’t do but have to admit to living in an Optus area.

Nothing wrong with living in an Optus area, if the service connects and works, so be it Optus. We get better 4G LTE data connections with Optus than Telstra 4GX. We need to go outside to get Telstra to connect a call reliably. It suits our needs that Optus also offers more data for less cost and lower overall plan costs than Telstra.
We do use Telstra a fair bit when travelling though, for obvious reasons.
P.s. and we don’t live in the city or a township.
