Andrid phone
« on: Sunday 11 November 18 08:33 GMT (UK) »
I have a really good camera, and a Samsung 10 " tablet, but both are bulky
I am looking for a used  phone with camera and  wifi,  don`t was it as main phone as I don`t use them much. PAYG. So will only probably be using the wifi.
Samsung and Sony are  Android, but are they both similar  to use, I`m used to the tablet  and not very  good with apps , and too much technology. Too complicated  ;)
Any advice please.

You say you are looking for a used phone, so that may limit your choice. You can now get some very good new phones for a reasonable price, that way you could go into the shop and ask for a demonstration. I know people who have Huawei phones and are very happy with them as they have a good camera.  I have an iPhone and love it.

Huawei (pronounced Waa Way) are very easy to use and you can get them reasonably cheap second hand.

I don't know how much you want to pay 2nd hand, but I've just bought my husband a NEW Motorola Moto e5 from Giffgaff for £99.  As both us already use giffgaff and my husband had credit that's all we had to pay.  If you don't use giffgaff then you would have to pay an extra £10 (I think) to put credit on the 'phone.  The camera is excellent - if you're technically minded, and I'm not - it has a 13Mp rear camera which benefits from an f/2.0 aperture, phase detection auto-focus and HDR.

If you look on line, you'll find lots of cheap new 'phones with excellent cameras.  I have a Motorola Moto G3 which I've had a couple or so years now. 

If you google 2nd hand phones UK, you'll see a selection of 'phones.  All you'll need to do is look at the spec of every one and decide which you prefer.
