I'd buy a Skoda, VW and a Toyota and maintain them for at least 10 years. The Skoda is the Xiaomi Redmi 5, the VW is the Motorola Defy and the Toyota is the Samsung SIII. They vary in age between 2 (Xiaomi), 8 (Samsung) and almost 10 years (Motorola), 2 of them (Xiaomi and Samsung) run the latest version of Android, the Motorola is stuck at Android 4.4 due to a locked bootloader. All of them work fine. Buying the 3 of them costs less than buying a single iPhone. They last longer than any iPhone due to the possibility to update the OS as long as there are developers working on the device. The 8yo Samsung gets weekly OTA updates (which I do not always install...).
