 What phone? - Manatee
I've a Huawei P9, four and a half years old, still works but noticeably lethargic and with a weakening battery. It cost me £350 at the time, which seems enough to pay for a phone.

Should I renew the battery and do a reset, or bite the bullet? It's on Android 7. My interest in operating systems ended with DOS but I think Android 7 is now several versions behind.

If I swap it, what do I get? I want plenty of room for apps, photos and video. The Huawei is 3GB/32GB+128GB expansion card. Both RAM and ROM now seem inadequate-it's occasionally low on memory and if I want any headroom I have to uninstall something to add an app. I could use the cloud a bit more for photos & videos but I like the option of adding storage.

I also need a good camera and battery life.

The Hauwei's been good, but the brand is now in bad odour and subject I believe to sanctions one way and another. I don't need the latest, in the past I have found that the previous year's high end phones can be good value when they are superseded.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
