Jawloms Posted July 28, 2022 Posted July 28, 2022 My Mum needs a new mobile. She currently has (and has had for years, I think it's running android 4.4) a Samsung. Happy to spend between £150-£200. Doesn't need an exceptional anything, just to work when she presses stuff. I was looking at the Samsung A13 but lots of people seem to say it's slow. Doesn't have to be a Samsung but familiar territory preferred of course. Any tips or good deals atm? Stuart
timbo343 Posted July 28, 2022 Posted July 28, 2022 My mum was in the same boat. She had a 11 year old samsung and saw one of her friends using the Samsung M31. The M31 is now couple of years old so suggested the M32 (if she could find it) or the M33. Id say anything with at least 6Gb ram these days and 64Gb Storage is a minimum. 1

paulkerton Posted July 28, 2022 Posted July 28, 2022 P.S. My Dad didn't like Apple so my Mum won't have an iPhone. Smart. The Nokia devices are very good for the price, generally. 1
sigma Posted July 28, 2022 Posted July 28, 2022 More than £200, but I've been very happy with Oneplus and they have taken me up several versions of Android on the same phone. https://www.oneplus.com/uk/oneplus-nord-ce-5g?sku=5011101713 on offer at £270 12Gb Ram 256Gb Storage. 1
MatthewL Posted July 28, 2022 Posted July 28, 2022 Stick with something similar to what she has, transfer it over, set it all up the same will be far less hassle going forward! 1
FN-GM Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 We issue the Samsung A22 at work. They are around £150. Good phones and no complaints of slowdowns. 1
DWilson1997 Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 We also use the A22's at work. I'm actually surprised how good they are (coming from an iPhone user!) 1

Only annoying thing: 1) The fingerprint reset location means you can catch it easily. 2) The screen isn't easily readable in the sunlight 1
