My first one was a Samsung Galaxy S1 that I got in 2013 and it was a great little device that was easy to open up and repair. It had only 512MB of RAM but that was plenty for basic phone needs, web browsing and running some Android apps like AnkiDroid at the time.

I've got a Meizu M2 in 2015, replacing my Sony Ericsson Walkman W810 that served me well for 9 years ! The meizu was good too, until it wasn't... one day they pushed and update that rendered it completely unusable and they took 4 month to fix. By this time I had already replaced it. Otherwise very robust despit the plastic construction, it fail off a rollercoaster once and survived without damage! I still have the phone and use it occasionally as a backup, it still works but it's barely usable at this point because the obsolete software.
