Inexpensive, but not too shonky Android phone

[james_tigerwoods]

Bit of a long shot with this one - My 10 year old daughter's phone (an inherited from me HTC One M8) has been stolen whilst on holiday in Majorca and she's suitably gutted as it's the main way that we keep in contact with each other (she's a real Daddy's girl). She's offered to pay to replace it, which she didn't have to do which is good of her.

So, my request is this - Does anyone have a cheap (ish) Android phone kicking about that has a decent enough camera going spare? I'm not looking for anything that's Galaxy S7 quality, but not something that's ye olde Nokia N95?

Thanks

James

Honor 9 Lite would be my choice.

Thanks - more expensive than I wanted to spend as she's only 10 and until she's older I don't want to spend that much yet...

How much then?

£100? - https://www.carphonewarehouse.com/honor/7s.html#!c...

£50? - https://www.carphonewarehouse.com/zte/blade-v7-lit...

Blackview A10?

I'm looking more for a second hand phone really - £50 odd is about what I want to spend.

Failing that, something like this should keep her connected:

See if you can pick up a Samsung S4 or S5 or equivalent on your online auction site of choice then. Those models because the batteries were replaceable, which means that even if that part is getting tired you can replace it.

I've linked to the A20. It's 10 better

Is it?

Just looked - Neither of those amazon listed phones has 4G capability

I like the idea of an S5 though...

You can get a cheap but decent android phone for £40-50 from Carphone Warehouse, I've got a Lenovo that was about that and it does everything I need. Sorry to hear about the phone, hope your daughter is ok

My daughters have a doogee x20l which was £70 and a xiaomi 5a which was £85. The xiaomi especially is a very good phone for the money. Both of these are dual sim and they have a payg sim for calls and a data sim for...data.

If you want cheap and new then the various chinese phones can be very good value. Just make sure that they have band 20 support.

I have an old HTC that she can have. It won't be as good as the one she had, but it is in good nick. I'll dig it out and find out what model it is for you if you're interested.

Thank you - That's kind of you. I've mailed you.
