Despite the lack of apps, Windows Phone was very good for me at that time, as I had two Lumias. They were quite cheap but rather powerful (again, despite the lack of apps like internet banking, but they did have Whatsapp and Telegram). I left WP and Lumia when Whatsapp ended its support for WP in December 2019 (if I remember correctly), and Nokia's Android phones were expensive at the time, so I tried the Asus Zenfone (because I see Asus as a good PC hardware manufacturer). Two years later, my Zenfone started to drain faster because the battery started to swell, so I bought a Nokia with Android, which I still use nowadays. This latest acquisition made me realize that, indeed, Nokia is no longer the same: although it has the Nokia's bold design ("almost indestructible"), it is a slow smartphone. I fixed my Zenfone battery and used both phones simultaneously for another two years, when the Zenfone battery stopped holding a charge again (although, this time, it didn't swell). Since I couldn't find a replacement battery for the Zenfone, I stuck with the Nokia, but soon I'll try another brand like Xiaomi, or maybe Asus again since my previous experience with a Zenfone was really good.
