Best sim free phone for £100

[RobbieTheTruth]

Hello,

Looking to get my dad his first phone for around £100.

Probably going to get Nokia g10, which is 4gb and has 13mp camera.

Am I overlooking anything obvious/better or that that ok?

Moto G series is always well rated and decent value.

My wife has had a couple of them, and they seem to do the job.

What's important to him? Big screen? Camera quality? Huge buttons?

There are plenty of cases to go on most types of phone on Amazon / eBay, so if he's anything like my Dad, you should be able to keep him happy.

Nothing really - just a decent enough camera and be user friendly enough to encourage him to text/whatsapp instead of endlessly leaving voicemails!

Thanks. The G8 at £136 looks good?

See if you can get a Xiaomi. I've got a Note 8 Pro, 64mp camera, 128gb storage / 6gb ram, runs on Android. Paid £85 last year for mine in one of their sales and it's brilliant for the money. Big screen though at 6.67 inches.

Those specs are great and higher than the Nokia/Moto.

I'll check on amazon.

Argos are still selling the Moto G9 Play for under £100:

I have one myself, having had several G phones in the past.

This. The xiaomi phones are great value. check amazon and the xiaomi app (or look on uk hot deals)

The line up is huge and confusing but the note 8, note 9, note 10, poco are all great value. Our youngest has a note8 pro as above, other daughter has the note 10S 5g (128gb/6gb/48mp camera) and I have a poco x3. All were around £130 to buy and it would be really difficult to get better value.
