Best 'camera' phone around £200?

[anonymous-user]

What is the general opinion on a value android phone with best camera about the £200-ish tag? Cheers

This might not be the general wisdom, but from personal experience Nokia seem quite competent at this price range. I think the latest 7.2 and may 6.2 should impress.

Caveat we have a previous gen 6.1 and 7.1 which are both good camera wise. The 7.1 does seem a bit patty every now and again though.

Stretch a bit more on price and get a Pixel 3 , incredible camera and software. Night mode is fantastic.

I have a 7.2 and I like it a lot, and the camera is good but the phone is around £250. The 6.2 is cheaper and is almost identical except the camera isn't as sophisticated.

Just had a look and they 'seem' to be £300+ is that correct for sim free or am I missing a trick? Cheers

RRP for 3a is £399/3aXL is £479 - they'd dropped a bit for Black Friday but have gone up again. They've done various deals, free Chromebook etc when they released, probably drop again for Christmas/January sales.
Argos have the 2xl for £349, pros and cons between it and the 3a but still a very good device indeed, but none of them are £200 unless you get a great second hand deal.

Check out the Motorola One Macro. The specs are pretty good.
