I had a BLU R2Plus in 2017 and liked it. It was my first smartphone. I only used it as a phone, didn't have WIFI configured, had cellular data disabled. It worked great for a couple of years until Google somehow managed to force an update on me. I don't know how they did that, but they did. After the update, speech to text did not function very well, Google kept asking for all kinds of new permissions, and if I didn't give them, things that used to work stopped working. I got stuck in a cycle of having to do updates to try to fix brokenness. In the last update, I couldn't zoom in on pictures: it caused the Photo app to crash. I'm guessing that Android updates were not tested on older phones, so they just broke everything. I bought an Apple iPhone XR on eBay a couple of years ago and don't miss Android one bit. If Google's market share in anything goes down, they need to blame themselves first.
