I've had my Nokia 7 Plus for three years and its been ok, but it's looking a bit tatty, freezes up on a regular basis and there's a crack in the screen.
To be honest I'm not really into gadgets/tech enough to know what the 7 Plus's natural successor is (or if I even need anything better) but I just know I'd rather stick with Nokia/Android for the convenience of a simpler swap over and not having to learn to navigate a different phone again.
What d'ya recommend? Any good deals about?
Only last week I moved from a Nokia 7.1 to a Nokia xr20, for the same reasons as you. I'm impressed, and the Nokia's do tend to be a bit stronger than anything else I've had

Thanks @stu170
I've just googled that. Looks a good durable phone (a feature I think I'd need), but £307. OUCH!
Have a look on Hotukdeals to see whats out there. If you like how Nokias work then also have a look at other devices using the Android One interface as it'll be identical. However perhaps it's "better the devil you know" and just buy whichever phone fits in your max budget! If you buy direct from Nokia I believe they have some exclusive models, e.g. higher spec than the same model would be from the shops.
£307 is lower end of the market and the point where phones only just start to get usable. Especially if you are expecting it to last 3+years. Unfortunately that's the way things are now.
One bit of advice I would give is don't get last year's model that might be running out of updates before you are finished with it. Better off get a slightly lower model that is newer. It's not just the interface updates but security too.
Thanks for the words/tips folks.
Blimey I'm so out of touch with tech.

Is it? My Nokia was £200 three or four years ago and it's perfectly useable. I'd have said the opposite, they days of having to pay for the privilege of 'not crap' have passed.

This though I'd wholeheartedly agree with.
My four year old Samsung A10 works just fine.
The cheap Motorola tend to get good reviews.
We haven't got 5g around here, and seems like it's not going to be mature anywhere for a while, and I'm light on storage requirements so I spent less than £120 in Argos for a Moto with long battery life and I'm very happy with it.
