What would you get

5"~5.2" Android phone for less than £150

With at least 2GB RAM, dual SIM and a MicroSD and decent waterproofing, decent camera. Or am I asking too much.

You can get the moto g4, but it was only slightly better than my £50 thl t6c. It was also faulty!
I'm looking at the THL T7 or elephant P9000, both chinese phones, THL is the only one i've had expereince with and they have been fine.
 
Thx but I was hoping for something less of a downgrade than a THL T6C.

I suppose the original Wileyfox Swift probably comes closest at the price point. I was wondering will it get OS updates though considering Cyanogen OS etc.

Assume you mean the new Swift 2. Wileyfox have said it will get updates including to V7 but not how. It is a nice phone, I tried one for a week. Be aware though that the 2nd SIM and SD-card are one or the other - they use the same slot (can't remember if that was the same with the original Swift).

Hi.

Do you mind if I ask, is it branded/locked to EE ? Wondered if it's simply free. It's also gone up to £159 + top up.

I got one for my mum, its locked but free to unlock and no evident EE branding on it that I can see in way of splash screens and pre installed apps.
 
Thanks, for that. Useful knowing about the EE splash ! Makes it it better.

Found this on the EE site as it may help :

You can unlock your device by filling in our online form or calling 150* from your mobile.

The cost of unlocking your device depends on whether you’re on pay as you go or pay monthly.

Pay as you go

If you’re on pay as you go, you can unlock your phone as soon as you get it, as long as it’s locked to EE, Orange or T-Mobile. Your pay as you go account must be registered with your details for us to unlock a pay as you go device. Register or manage your account >

You must also ensure the device has not been reported as lost or stolen.

There are no charges for unlocking for pay as you go devices bought from EE and our indirect partners. We’ll need to check other devices to confirm where and when they were bought. Pay monthly devices used on pay as you go will be subject to pay monthly rules and checks.

Pay monthly

If you’re on pay monthly, you need to have had your contract for six months before you can unlock a device. If you’re within contract, the cost to unlock your device is £8.99. This charge will be applied to your account once the unlock code has been provided and will show on your next bill.

There are no charges to unlock your device once you’re out of contract with your device.

To be eligible for unlocking you must:

be the account holder for this device and phone number
have been an EE customer for at least six months
ensure your bill has been paid and your account is up to date
ensure the device has not been reported as lost or stolen
