New or Refurbished Phone for Around £200?

Hello All,

As per my previous thread about Lycamobile: (https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/lycamobile-what-phones-for-5g.18982539/)

I am now looking for a different phone. Is there anything with a similar spec to the Pixel 6 that I currently have for around £200?

Thank you

I hadn't thought of Nokia. Great suggestion. I think my last Nokia phone was an 8310

Thank you for the suggestion

I am also looking to buy a cheap phone, first phone for a child, and would rather keep costs down just in case they aren't as good with it as I'm hoping they'll be!

I've seen things like the Motorola G84 for £189, and the Xiaomi Redmi 13c for £99 from O2, though it looks like I'd need to sign up for a contract and then cancel it with that one.

A more "stock" Android UI would be nice, though it seems Xiaomi does support Google Family Link natively.

Any thoughts? Any other gems I've missed!

The Sony Xperia skin I think looks fairly "stock" nowadays. I can see Sony Xperia 10 IV, unlocked in Grade A condition for £220.

I've been considering giving then a try again as a refresh for my work phone and keeping an eye out for a Sony Xperia 5 V.
