I'm planning to get a refurbished phone but really struggling. I thought my requirements were easy but apparently not! Can anyone give me tips or weigh in with their own experience pretty please?

My requirements are:

Samsung (to work with other software hardware I have)
Good camera
Reasonable inbuilt memory (my current one is 32g and dire)
Takes a memory card.

Thank you!

What are you looking to find out? What handset you have now?
If you want to compare phones the website I have been recomended several times by staff in various mobile phone shops is GSM Arena. Most phones these days start off at 128 storage. As for camera even the most basic phones have great cameras. The S range is the premium range. The A range is the everyday range. Samsung quite often have cashback deals.

Well you've already told me more than I knew - thank you! I think it's more about personal experience - for example I've read that the S20 the camera isn't great but most reviews were before an update came out, so is the camera OK now?

I also need to work out how long they will keep doing security updates as I don't want to be hacked!

Oh, and I have an A20e so anything will be a step up!

I have an S22 and love it. Camera seems good (although not as good as DH Google pixel phone) and I have had no issues with it.

Thank you! Can you use a memory card with it?

I just bought a refurbed s22 and it's grand. Apparently the s20 was the last one to take memory cards though. Newer phones don't tend to have them.

I have no idea! I have 256gb of storage and I have not filled it up even though I have 7k photos on there.

We have an S22, absolutely love it but no memory card slot, but my model has 256GB memory and 8GB RAM. I love it because it's hot huge in size, a nice small phone in my hand, same size as standard Iphone.

I have s22 plus. The normal s22 was too small for me. No memory card but linked to my Google account so don't really need one - all my photos etc are stored there.
Camera is good. Easy to use. Good battery life. Would recommend.

Thank you all!
