I would like to add to the list the ability to replace a knackered
battery EASILY.

Â*These days that will limit you choice. The batteries in the Nokia
6.1,Â* my Xiaomi and many of the Moto G... phones are not easy to
change. YouÂ* would need special tools and a youtube video to show you
what to do toÂ* change the battery.


Moto E has swappable batteries IIRC.

Indeed. Currently charging on my desk:-)

Slightly twitchy at the amount of personal data Google is pushing to
have use/access.

You can go tweak what google see/keep... if you go to:

https://myaccount.google.com/

Most bits I have turned off, although the location history is quite
handy I find - especially working out where I have been, how many miles
etc.

(well pre covid anyway - these days its a *very* dull maps timeline!)

Maps seems easy enough.


Â*I find the key strokes rather quick for my aged faculties. The pressed
key illuminates but I am finding TNP quantities of errors particularly
passwords where the symbol is quickly hidden.

For general typing (rather than passwords as such) its worth trying the
swipe typing. Basically stick you finger on the first letter, then just
slide to the approximate location of the remaining letters in sequence
without lifting. It makes a surprisingly good job of working out what
you probably meant to type.
