the sony is a nice phone, didnt last very long though! but its way beyond what i need. im looking for a sim free phone. all i need is something basic.

cheap as in the minimum amount possible. i quite like the size of the xperia. think its about 5 inches?

really would like waterproofing. have dropped a couple of phones down the swanny.

Thanks for the suggestion but the Nokia XR20 is way more than I'm wanting to pay.

thanks for all the help fellas.

Depending on what you want from it the Oppo A5 can still be found (~£100) and is a pretty solid phone for the money - not going to set the world on fire but does the job with only some minor compromises in performance.

thanks for the input. unfortunately the a5 doesnt seem to be waterproof at all.
