I need a phone

Buying Advice

I have no idea about phones, not I do care about them. I still pay with my credit card, I don't use the pay from phone. But I want the phone to have NFC since some services I use require it to charge the card.

What I use my phone for:

- messaging > whatsapp telegram

- browse reddit through app

- x manager spotify

- google maps or any maps once I manage to de google myself. This most important, I want reliable GPS and kinda fast on this section. My current phone gets sluggish when using gmaps

- slack because work

- browsing web sometimes

All other stuff I dont really care about. Yeah, I might use gdrive or open a PDF, but most stuff I use is for must.

I dont give a crap about the camera, the pixels, the refresh rate. I just want the phone to work. I aint gonna watch movies on it, nor take pictures to update a nonsense social media.

I would love to spend less than 200 USD/ EUR and have it last at least 3 years.

Any suggestions?
