Yes, but the phone I want wouldn't require giving information about what I want. I'd prefer a barebones operating system that I can make calls and texts from and which gets security updates for a looong time. How long? Whatever component is likely to die first, see if we can address that ( and so on) so the device hardware can last a long time, then make sure it can get firmware updates, etc. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 I'd like to use but I'm scared to out of security concerns, so I use this six-year-old iPhone instead.
