TrueCost
Street price ÷ months of safe use remaining — the number that makes cheap short-lived phones expensive, and well-supported ones cheap.
13% cheaper than the under-$300 median ($6.65/mo, dying phones excluded)

A value-focused AMOLED phone with OIS and a big bright screen, but conservative on chipset and OS upgrades.

- Security patches committed through December 2028 (4 years)
