Which mobile to get

matchless · 27th January 2019, 07:37

Hi ,
I have been following the dual sim mobile post , hoping it would give me a heads up on what mobile to get next.
I am not necessarily looking for a dual sim phone,so have posted this request.
Can anyone recommend a phone/brand that is of similar quality (but more up to date) than my old HTC One M8, which, over the last 4 1/2 years has been superb.
I have been reading reviews, and it seems most of the ones at a reasonable price (£200 ish) have some flaws. And I don't really want to spend more on a phone than what I paid for the 75!.
Thanks
Paul

Have a look at the Honor 9 Lite. Modern design, great screen, well built and dual SIM. Shop around and you'll get it for under £140.

Me and Mrs Heddy just got a Huawei Y6 2018 each from Tesco mobile. Under £200 pound but very comparable to more expensive phones. Check the features, or pop in Tesco and ask to play with one.

Thanks,
another phone (and Brand ) on my shortlist.
Now down to Huawei,Honor (are they the same?) Motorola (!) and possibly HTC,although they have almost vanished.

We got ours on contract £9 p/m. You only get 500mb data but 250mins talk time and a rather useless 5000 texts. Given that most of our browsing is over wi-fi and we use messenger for texts it suits us. It's only £9 because we have 2 phones, normally £10. There's 16g capacity but we expanded it with an SD card.

You cannot beat the Motorola Moto G series for affordable quality. The latest being the g6.

This helps as I have shortlisted this one, based on your reply and quite a few online owners reviews.
Thanks

Look at Xiaomi as well. I have a note5, under £200 for 64gb, dual SIM, Snapdragon processor etc. Good phone, IMO better than the Samsung S8 I have from work.

The 3 mobile SIM only deals are good too.

Xiaomi Redmi 5 - forgot that one. Nice phone. Big battery as well. My Galaxy S5 couldn't make it through a day without a charge. My el cheapo Ulephone Power 2 will do 2 days easy and has a fast charge so a couple of hours charge and good to go. No sign of battery degredation after 12 months either. Yes it is a bit heavier but that's to be expected.

I've had 2 Elephones, a C1 & an S8, both pretty good, the C1 holds charge longer. I'm using a Huawei P Smart atm, all sub £200 & all do everything you could possibly need.
