Budget phone

[robj20]

After a budget phone for my mum, so far the Black view A60 for £60 seems the best i can find all round. Anything else available on Amazon worth considering for £60 or less.

Why ops mum might only use it for calls or texts. No point getting an expensive one.

Exactly this, calls, texts, WhatsApp and Facebook that will be it.

Is that £60 a month as where are you seeing an A60 for £60?

I'd look at a redmi note 7 or 8.

What are you smoking if you think £60 a month would be a budget phone. Lol
£60 upfront, I thought that incredibly obvious.

Again I ask about phones worth a £60 budget and the answer is spend almost double.

Think I'll go with the BV A60 then with no other ideas.

specs for the a60 look pretty poor, not sure I would want a phone with 1gb of ram even for the basic stuff your mum is doing to be honest.

especially since if she isn't tech savvy she wont bother with app management, everything will be open at once and it will grind to a halt.

From my understanding is not as simple as that you can't compare it to something costing much more when you take into account Android Go.

Seriously save up another £40 even if it takes you a few weeks and get the redmi note 7. Your mum will be wanting something nicer.

Lol you really don't understand the word budget do you. Thanks anyway.

I don't know why I bother. I'm not asking what the best £100+ phone is.
A £60 smart phone is going to be a huge step up.

Some of you are just picking numbers out of thin air for some reason. I get that you wouldn't want a £60 phone but are you really telling me the A60 won't run Facebook Lite, WhatsApp and the text and phone app.
She basically wants it to be able to use WhatsApp, currently uses her old phone as a phone and an old Amazon tablet for Facebook. She wants a cheap phone that combines the two.

There's a used A60 Pro (Android 9 with 3GB Ram) on the rainforest going for £63.35, it's a warehouse option so slight imperfections etc. Sorry it's not £60 or less but super close...

Can't find it.

The ulefone note 8p is £59.98 and has another 10% off voucher on rainforest site, 2gb ram and android 10 go, might be a better option.

Awesome that looks good.

It's on AMAZON not rainforest

What?

 

[robj20]

For some unknown reason people are telling you it's on rainforest when it's on Amazon.
No idea why they say rainforest.

Me neither but I still know what they're referring to.

Because this is overclockers uk forums and it's against forum rules to to promote there competitors.

You don't know the rules as well as you think you do.
Since when did OCUK sell phones. Hint they don't therefore Amazon isn't a competitor therefore you can say Amazon to your heart's content.

Have a read of https://www.overclockers.co.uk/forums/help/boardRules/ they specifically name Amazon as a competitor.

Try again.
