Evening all,

Before I start, sorry for another wireless charging phone question, the last one was for a phone for me, and after a few recommendations I've had a Blackview BV6300 Pro for the last 6 months and its been great. Does all that I need a phone to do, as well as being rugged (I've 'tested' it a fair few times already and its still unscathed) the wireless charging is just so convenient.

Now I need something for the Mrs for Xmas to replace her aging Sony that struggles making it through the day without a charge. My Blackview was £135ish 6 months ago but have gone up a touch, so I'm thinking similar for her, but happy to go up to ~£200, but I'm really struggling finding a normal ie non rugged phone with wireless charging. Shes not a demanding phone user, as long as it does Facebooky type stuff, texting and decent photos of the kids she'll be happy. Shes not a brand snob, just as long as it works, so a Xiaomi, Blackview type one is fine althought neither of these 2 do non-rugged wireless charging, there must be others that I just havn't heard of. I've really struggled finding anthing, even most of the online shops don't let you filter by wireless charging, and if you just google 'wireless charging phone', a list appears across the page which after inspection don't have wireless charging.

Sorry for the rambling, but any guiding in the right direction will be great,

Cheers

Why is wireless charging a deal breaker? If it wasn't for that I'd recommend the Xiaomi Note 10 Pro. Got mine for £129.00 and it's brilliant.

All the phone anyone could really ever want, only things it's missing are 5g and wireless charging....

Also please note that the Note 10 Pro is regarded as a better phone than the Note 11 Pro.

Thank you both.

The Nokia is a bit too much money, but thank you.

I carried on looking after I posted and pretty much came too the realisation that it's either spend more or not have wireless charging. Part of the thinking behind getting her an easy to charge phone is when she gets up with the baby in the night she often uses her phone as a light, then when she gets back into bed she doesn't plug it back in. With her old phone the battery just isn't well enough to see her through the day unless at 100% in the morning but a new phone should solve that issue anyway.

Do you know what the difference between the 10, 10 Pro and 10 5G is? It's all very confusing when your not into phones. The cheapest I can find a 10 Pro is 229, which is doable, but the 10 5G is 199 or a Note 11 is 199. I'll have a poke around on the Mi site tomorrow and see if I can make any sense of it.
