My wife is in need of a new phone and I am petitioning to humbly seek your knowledge...

The only constraints she has are as follows:

-decent(ish) camera [Probably 8MP or higher]

-not too big [Current phone is an Samsung A3 original]

-probably Android [Current phone is Android, she has a google account, etc, etc]

-not overly complicated

-not overly expensive

Normal use - browsing, games, calls & messages. Occasional picture taking.

Ones that are about the right price/spec point are the LG K8 (2017 version), Sony Xperia E5, Samsung Galaxy J3.

Currently with A.N.Other provider but open to change if price/coverage is ok.

Are there any other phones that she (I) should look at and who is good price wise?

An o2 sim will not work in a Tesco locked phone. I learnt that once

Tesco always used to sim lock too so you couldn't even put another Tesco sim in a phone, but I think they've stopped that now.

Which one are you/your wife leaning towards @gmarkj?

gmarkj · ‎15-03-2017

I would say the either the K8 2017 or the E5. They are the same price as the J3 but have a slightly better camera (in terms of MP).
For a little more the J5 is a step up.
What I would be interested in (but can't find) is a comparison as to how much of the memory you actually have after the OS is on the phone- most of them say 16Gb, but that is not what will be usable.
Do any of the more sage among us know anything (looking at you @viridis and @MI5!)?

You will be left with around 11gb of usable space on a 16gb phone.

Yo Rich. Am I right in thinking the Leagoo Elite 1 wipes the floor with all these phones mentioned?

Without a shadow of doubt.

3gb RAM and 32gb onboard plus either dual sim or single sim SD card support.

I also know of one available on next day delivery
