    Unfortunately not. I really looked.

    My criteria are:

    1. Receives Security Updates for 5 years of more.
    2. Has headphone Jack
    3. Enough RAM to switch between apps without them closing.

    I ended up with a bigger phone than I wanted. A Nokia XR21 which will last me until the updates end.

    I recommend the “Quick Cursor”. It lets me use a larger phone one handed.

    I miss the 4-5" smart phones. A HTC Desire was the perfect size and form factor for me. It’s not been beaten yet.

      I need to buy a new phone and my criteria is basically yours, plus having a good camera. I would go for the FP6 but as I was checking a review video, the camera is not very good… Do you have by any chance any recommendations?

        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.
