I am looking for help buying a cheap smart phone. I have started to research this myself but the last time I bought a phone it was an iPhone 4s - technology has definitely moved on and my miniscule budget definitely won't cover a new(er) iPhone. Moving away from Apple, I am finding all the options quite overwhelming. Even retail websites where I could get clear, concise info would be welcome.
My criteria:
- unlocked Android.
- ideally $250 or less. I am willing to pay up to $300.
- min 32G, but ideally 64G min
- acceptable quality camera for general snapshots
- reliable GPS
- updates & support for several years. My iPhone 4s is still going but it's on its last legs and support stopped long ago.
Apart from using the phone as a phone and text messaging, I primarily use some public transport apps, non-Apple audiobook apps and basic social media. My needs are pretty basic when compared to others.
I have ruled out the Samsung Galaxy A20 because of the unreliable GPS mentioned in several threads here on Ozbargain. And yes, I know that some things I won't be able to take with me from Apple onto the new phone.
Thanks in advance.
xiaomi mi max 3. best battery in the world.
