[Technology] New Mobile Phone

[Official Old Man]

Time for the her indoors and myself to get new phones. Nothing spectacular or in the £100's, heck it's only a phone.
Needs to be unlocked as we both use Lyca sims.
As my HD Camcorder has had it I'd like something that records HD video (or even UHD).
Amazon has Samsung A15 or A14 at around the £100 mark.
Any suggestions please.

The Motorola G54 5G currently reduced to £150 is very hard to beat for the spec you get

All new phones are network unlocked.

(A piece of EU legislation that we have copied.)

No particular beef with Xiaomi (who, for the uniniated, are the world's 3rd largest manufacturer of phones) but they do seem to operate via a DFS-style perma-sale.

I've been tempted by the fabulous value-for-money of a (Xiaomi) Poco F phone, but am currently staying 'safe' with my Google Pixel.

After having dealings through myself and family with all the main phone manufacturers, I can honestly say without hesitation, Xiaomi is the best I've used (so far).
My current redmi 10 pro has a camera to rival any Sony, battery life is better than Samsung and I've dropped it without damage numerous times...unlike an iphone, where you mention dropping it and the screen breaks!
I'm like the OP, I need a phone for communication, not to run my life and in this respect, Xiaomi have all I need....the Poco series does look good though

The OP said around the 100 mark...there's some wriggle room there

Suggestions yes, put them through your business unless you’re obviously doing this.

Get yourself up to Oxford Circus, plenty of street vendors looking to sell their latest merch.

Cash only though

My last phone was a Xiaomi and I was overall very happy with it. Can’t recall how much it cost but was in the very low hundreds. Very good camera.

I’ve since decided to finally treat myself to an iPhone but I’d happily recommend Xiaomi or, as someone else mentioned, Motorola. For the price, both are excellent value.
