Well, they will last longer.

The battery, IMHO, is the biggest determinant of how long a phone lasts.

You have to decide if that is enough
compensation for the high price. For me, no: I don't like to carry
around such an expensive thing that I can drop or that can be stolen.

I agree with those who assess that an inexpensive phone works just fine.
Mine, for example, was free, but I had to pay tax on about $180 MSRP.

So it cost me about $18 (roughly) plus I added an sdcard (for about $20).

That was three years ago.

My current phone are a Motorola G52 or G62. I believe in the 200..300 �
range.

I think the $200 range is fine for an Android device, if you choose well.

Mine is 3 years old and still going strong - and its MSRP was around that.
Since my battery is a whopping 5AH, it is still going strong today.

The most recent security update was last month, but all Androids on the
Internet get security updates monthly forever if they have Android 10+.
