Hello

First post :)

Would anyone be able to offer any advice on a budget smartphone please?

I had been looking for one for up to £100 but i might be able to stretch to about £130 ish if necessary.

The phone is for my mom to replace her old lumia 525 (I think) and would be used mostly for Web browsing, texting, emails and the odd bit of YouTube.

I really want something that will be a smooth experience as it really bugs her when her current phone runs slowly.

Battery life is also important and also quick charging as her current phone takes too long to charge for her liking (probably 2-3 hours)!

I have looked at lots of different phones but always seem to see negative comments about them that put me off such as poor customer service or touch screen issues, slow performance etc.

I have a few offers that I had found but I'm not really sure how good the phones/deals are:

They also have this sim free on amazon for £138.

Are there any better options out there than these? I would like to buy from a UK retailer if possible just in case anything goes wrong with the phone.

Thank you very much for any advice you can offer, I am struggling a bit here :)

I am going to hijack this thread. I'm looking for a phone of similar budget, 100 pounds or less, and requirements for my 11 year old daughter who has just started secondary school. Am thinking of a Nokia 1 but not sure about the Android Go OS. Any better alternatives out there?

Needed a budget phone for a family member

Bern looking for a few days and opted for the honor 9 lite for £149 from John Lewis with 2 year warranty.
