Big screen phone for under £200

phil675 · 9 Nov 2018 at 16:21

So I need a cheap phone, I would like a big screen for Youtube, Netflix and e-Books. And I don't want dog slow but of course the price range is limiting.

I've been looking around and I'm really out of the loop so what do you think of:

Honour 9 Lite
Samsung J9
Huawei Y7 2018
Huawei P-Smart

Or any other suggestions? Thanks. :cool:

You can get the Redmi Note 6 Pro if for £219 if you can stretch a tad.

Honor 8x, trust me, for only £29 more than your budget outside of importing I really don't think you can get better for your money, it has a large 6.5" screen with super thin bezels, I bought one for my GF recently and I've been very impressed by it, pretty much the same performance as my MATE 10 Pro (kirin 970), 4gb internal ram and 64gb internal storage, unibody, good 3750mAh battery (two days casual usage easy), plus the headphone jack is a bonus, NFC works well for contactless payments, comes with pre-applied screen protector and gel case in the box, get it NOW!

With the top notch, it is kind of big meh... Or no. Extra 30 + VAT + import taxes at the customs?

Sony XA2 Ultra is a very good phone

AMDPower · 12 Nov 2018 at 16:58

Even better phone than the Sony XA2 i recommended above is the

Sony XZ Premium, great phone with excellent camera, battery life and 5.5" screen and 4K and all great build quality. Its last year Sony Flagship phone with a still very fast processor only thing is no wireless charging, it has a 2 year warranty and no dealing with import fees or charges or warranty dealing with foreign company.

and its at a bargain price of £230 from the Rainforest site.

Honor 8x. I bought mine for £184 and I'm extremely happy with the purchase.

Yeah but it is a ugly phone - in several years when we look back at these phones, we will laugh.

That's the case with a lot of things though.

You think the phone is ugly that's fine.
