Screen size? Or are you not fussed?

Devo1818 · 25/09/2022 12:07

Not fussed. The bigger the better I suppose but not a priority.

I'm happy with my Samsung A12. Got it from amazon in February for £120 unlocked and loads of storage.

Brand new? Second hand? With or without contract? Do you want free/unlimited minutes, texts, data?

Devo1818 · 25/09/2022 13:14

New, no contract - just the phone

I like Motorolas. Cheap and a really good battery life. I think mine is a G4 plus (or similar.)

What about the Oppo A16s ? Argos has it for under £130, I bought it for one of our sons and he loves it. Worth a look, and it’s still on their website. The other lad’s got an Honor X7 but I think that was about £160. I think they’re both better than the iPhone SE I use which was a cast off from my sister.

Lol not especially. That's not a big thing for me. I mainly use it for browsing and messaging.

I also got a Samsung A12 it does what I need it to do and is a good phone 👍

PinkBuffalo · 25/09/2022 15:00

Camera seems good for me but I not tech savvy so not know if good for you

Horsemad · 25/09/2022 15:05

For a really decent camera you'll have to spend more than £150 I think.
I always think the photos taken on iPhones are great (I don't particularly like Apple though) and my son (very techy chap) has a Google Nexus which takes great pictures but again is quite a pricey.

I think after that, some Samsungs have pretty ok cameras.

@Devo1818 I'm really happy with the camera in it, has four at the back and one at the front. Lots of different modes and edit options.
