Recommend new phone please !

Main requirements are large battery (around 5000mah), a magnetometer, as I'm using it with map apps, and cheap

I've just had to return a Motorola G8 Power Lite because it doesn't come with a magnetometer. Any recommendations ?

Thanx.

It’s bigger brother the G8 Power has a magnetometer and a 5000mah battery. It’s £ 200 on Amazon at the moment.

I was hoping maybe cheaper but the phone you've linked has a few other upgrades too. Thanks for the reply and the link!

Hmm maybe look into Chinese phones but you tend to get what you pay for.

Maybe look at the Redmi Note 9 it’s £ 144 on Amazon and is similar performance wise to the Motorola Moto G8 Power except it comes with a lot of bloatware which can be removed whereas the Motorola is virtually stock Android out of the box.

Here’s the link https://www.amazon.co.uk/Screen-Oct...6:419159031&rnid=419157031&rps=1&sr=8-67&th=1

Has a 5020mah battery too and according to Wikipedia a magnetometer...

Ordered the Motorola, not really got the time to mess with bloatware.

Thanks again!
