Looking for reviews.

On budget smartphones.

I've sent the reconditioned iphone back because it was faulty.

I have decided no more reconditioned phones - I want a new one.

With this in mind I am looking at the lower end of the market.

There are loads of budget phones around and my mind is in a whirl wondering which to have.

If you have one would you review it for me please? It would be a massive help as I'd rather listen to real people.

My budget is £200.

Unfortunately reviews cannot always be believed. I heard not long ago that some firms pay people to write good reviews.

Yes Tara, I agree with you - that's why I'm asking the 'real' people on here.

Have you got one you can review for me Tara?

Re: Looking for reviews.

As I posted on your other thread I'm extremely happy with my Honor 9 lite. I bought mine from AO for about £120 but they seem to have stopped selling phones. I've had it for 9 months with no problems.

Sorry I own a very basic phone, which I only have with me when I am driving in case I have problem with my car. No one has the number, not even family, as I have no wish to be contacted.

Thank you Ray.

Re: Looking for reviews.

Thank you Rhian. I am adding it to my list of final considerations.

I've been looking on Carphone warehouse & they don't seem to sell unlocked phones. I don't want one with a contract.
