I bought the refurb version of this phone in June for $40 with the same service. Phone screen is great with the AMOLED but 4gb of RAM really hurts this phone. But I still would say it's ok for a backup phone but keep in mind about the 4gb if you were thinking this was an everyday phone.

4 GB is completely fine just Run ADB with the phone!
it's extremely simple you can just have Google Gemini or chat GPT talk you through it and and then there's a bit more you can do beyond the recommended wipe. Take a screenshot of all your apps beforehand in case you lose something you need, if something gets disabled you can just tell the AI chat what's missing and they'll tell you how to reload it.
it's the difference between it slowing down to a turtle pace or working perfectly for the rest of its life. The phone will be absolutely zippy, permanent 90 FPS motion

1,000% yes. there's really no reason to keep all the software bloat.
even for those who are scared by ADB (command line interface), there are a few apps that have a UI for ADB.

The Moto G Power 2024 [amazon.com] is also a good option.
