Nokia 5.4 Vs Samsung Galaxy A12 21 - £150.00

Bikeboy

I'm buying a new phone and have narrowed it down to the two models above. Would anyone have an opinion about which one to go for? 

These two phones are in the price range I want, and they have security updates for a long time (three years on the Nokia and four years on the Samsung).  I know there are a lot of Moto phones but I've checked on the Moto site and the updates are much shorter, often 18 months and in one case a disgraceful 6 months. 

Reviews for the two models seem to place performance as about the same.

The Nokia is smaller and lighter which I consider to be an advantage.

I am quite light user and don't use dozens of apps.

Any comments or opinions would be of interest.

Nokia 5.4 runs Android 10 (Android 11 ready), a stock version as far as I know if bought direct from Nokia

Samsung Galaxy A12 2021runs Android 11, possibly with some Samsung tweaks?

I just found out that for the Nokia 5.4, 3 years of updates commences at the release date of the phone, so I will investigate when that was

Thank you, I ended up getting the Nokia.....seems good so far.  Ordered direct from Nokia. 

The funny thing is that on the Nokia website the handset is shown as costing £160 ish, but if you click to see what is available as a bundle you get the handset, and bluetooth earbuds, and a clear case for £150.
