I'm in need of a new (to me) phone. Can anyone recommend a recent-ish Samsung model that I'm likely to find on refurbished sites? 128GB storage, nothing fancy, just a good all-rounder with a decent camera. Preferably under £200 though I'm prepared to go to £250.

I had an awful experience with Music Magpie, I would NOT recommend them

Have a look at the nothing phones. Good reviews and cheap ish. I don't have one but it's on my short list for my next phone. I'd also go for bigger than 128 as a bit of future proofing but if you don't use lots of apps or take lots of photos and videos you might be OK with 128.

Or an S21 B grade for £205

My DH is a tech nerd, and we are both tightarses. These phones are really high spec for the price.
