Android is Android, there are better and worse options. The big problem with older mobiles is that they won't ever get up to date "original" supplier updates and also, their radios are often not as suitable as new mobile options -- that is, network radios change. 2G is dead, 3G is heading that way too. Options for firmware replacement can vary alot depending on what is and is not supported by the porters. I've got a Librem 5 on order, expecting to see that some time early next year. https://puri.sm/shop/librem-5/ That is going to be more "safe and free" than many other options, but it won't be Android ... more pure Linux. https://liliputing.com/2018/04/librem-5-linux-smartphone-will-support-ubuntu... I wouldn't touch ZTE any longer, they are going to be history due to some happenings b/w them and the US. https://www.theverge.com/2018/4/16/17242664/us-uk-china-smartphone-zte-secur... Cheers A
