New phone for £100

[James_N]

Hi all

Mrs said she will get me a new
Phone for Christmas. I was on an original iPhone SE and it broke so I've been using an iPhone 5 for a while - painful.

I am currently on 3 PAYG. I don't actually use that much in the way of data or calls but I do tend to browse a lot on my phone at home. I don't really like how huge phones have got nowadays but it would probably be good for my eyes to have a slightly bigger phone.

As I don't need anything all singing or dancing, I think a nice android phone can be had for £100. Wouldn't want to spend much more than that. I was looking at something like this:

Or

Not fussed on brands or anything, just want the best spec I can get for around that sort of money.

I thought I'd ask people
Who know more than me
If there is anything better than these worth considering?

Thank you
James

I'd be looking at something like the Oppo A5 2020: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Z8BW...psc=1&ascsubtag=trd-gb-7732079261143735000-21

The Honor 10 Lite, whilst a little older is also decent for near the £100 mark.

I noticed the oppo and liked that one too. It says android 9 OS, would this phone get updates to 10 and beyond? Thank you

Seems it's got Android 10 in recent updates, and given there's not a great deal new in Android 11 I wouldn't be too worried if it doesn't get any newer base versions.
