I'd look at HMD fusion if I were buying now and look for the business edition with longer update support and more RAM.

My Nokia was made by HMD. It's been great and will be for a while longer as it's got plenty of support.

You can get an "outfit" (case) with a built in ring light for the 108MP camera which I definitely don't need. The "outfit" system is basically the phone has a set of pins on the back that allow custom hardware extensions built into to the case.

The HMDs have got to the point I could repair them or replace the battery without worrying about a heat pad and glue. That's a big selling point.
