SE 2016 as a lite/dumbphone in 2023? (alien.top)

Hey all, I broke my phone a few months ago and have been using a cheap Android since then and it's bad. Being on a budget, is it a good idea to go for an OGSE which will mainly be used for light texting and listening to music? I don't use socials or play games much so there isn't really a point in me getting a flagship, can't afford to anyways, just wondering if the OGSE is decent in 2023? Should I splurge a bit more and go for a 2nd Gen instead? c:

It’s great still using it in 2023 and no plan to stop anytime soon. Would recommend getting a battery replacement if the battery is below 85% battery health. Mine was at 79% and would have to charge multiple times per day (just from calling, texting, email, and some like socials). The Reddit app is great actually battery drain is like 10% per hour, less if you have video disabled. Other apps seem to kill it really fast for no real reason, like FB marketplace.
