if you take care of it and are fine with not having the latest and greatest.

Also as long as they can get a battery replacement, it should go the distance. I would source them now, rather than in a few years when they may be hard to find.

Eh, charging twice a day isn't such a hassle. As long as the phone isn't losing significant charge when its in sleep mode, it's still a good daily driver.

Which Android version do you have?

Lineage 18, which I think is Android 11

Sounds great until you get that battery out and realize it's dead because it was slowly discharging over the years and has gone below the recovery level.
