Getting a Budget (around $300) Smartphone with Wireless Charging? Plus an SD-Card Slot

LTiredKitty78 on 06/09/2023 - 22:39

Hi. I'm looking to possibly upgrade my phone. The only new feature i might want is wireless charging, plus it would need an expandable sd-card slot 128Gb or more. Though it might be impossible in this price range, thought i'd ask.

Otherwise, got any recommendations on a:

  • responsive phone that will be app heavy
  • 6"
  • bluetooth, wireless etc etc.
  • usb-c, OTG
  • 5000mah+ battery
  • i prefer dual sim.

I'm not super in need of the latest and greatest. But hey, if it has a battery that's easier to replace then most, that would be a big bonus. Only considering replacing my current phone because it's starting to get picky about when it wants to charge, and the battery is getting old and draining faster.

    If you don't mind refurbished then look at a Galaxy S20 FE

      Highly recommend the Galaxy S20FE 5G model. I've been using it as my daily driver for a couple of years.

        I've been looking online, and i guess this is model that's been supplanted because i'm not finding any new. Bit iffy on refurbished for that money.
        Wonder if wireless is looking to become more common sooner rather then later, i can wait it out as long as my battery can, ha.

          Highly unlikely you’ll find a 3 year old phone brand new

          Also recommend the Galaxy S20 FE. There are different variant, I have snapdragon 5g, but you can also get snapdragon 4g or exynos 4g.

          SD cards are very rare these days especially in a Samsung phone, I think S20FE is actually the last model that had it.

          Samsung phones since the S20 use the year as the model number, so the S20 released in 2020. So yeah it's been superseded.

        I got this too for 2 years, still get security updates. It is great of everyday use. I do not use it for gaming, still battery last only last for like 18hrs when mobile data is on. I am not sure if this is the case for everyone.

    constant and often Moto Edge 30 xxxx deals on this site.
    2 days ago edge 30 Fusion for $349 = AWESOME DEAL
    just keep an eye out
    only catch is they have between 4000 and 4700mah batteries, BUT SUPER FAST CHARGING

      What about the lack of sd card and wireless charging that OP specifically asked for? Fusion has neither of those
