S8 replacement for wife, £200 - £250

Participant · 24 Jul 2021 at 19:36

Hi all

T'wife has an S8 that's got ghosting on the screen and is just generally not good enough now. She wants a better camera too.

I'm thinking a refurbished S10 from Amazon for ~£260. She's really comfortable with the Samsung system and I think this is an important factor, but are there any better options I'm missing?

Many thanks.

Just ordered the S10 'renewed'. I think she'll be happy enough with it.

Samsung a71 would have also been a good option used from cex @ 250

Thanks we looked at that, but she was worried about fitting it in her handbag :rolleyes:

Samsung a51 is a good phone

I went from the S8+ to an A70, but in hindsight should have waited 6 months for the A71 with the better camera.

^^ The A51 is a good shout as already mentioned if size is an issue.
