Anybody got an old Android phone?


Looking to replace my OH's mobile, as her poor old eyes are struggling to read the screen on her Galaxy Y.

Does anybody have anything with a slightly larger/clearer screen, such as a Galaxy S2/3/4, or another brand of Android?

Not wanting to spend too much (obviously).

Alternatively, does anybody have experience of the cheap Chinese brands which are available now?

Thanks,

Alex

I recently looked around for a cheaper phone to take out with me on the lanes.  First I bought a Doogee X5 from Amazon, but I never used it as it was quite a large phone and I thought I'd break it when I'm out and about.  Specs-wise it's pretty good for around £45.  I then managed to pick up a new Huawei Y3 from Argos for £30 including a £10 airtime credit with EE (which I used to get in unlocked).  This has a smaller screen and is more suitable for me when out on the lanes.  Decent spec for the price too.  Both these devices - and their equivalents - all have cameras and other stuff you'd associate with a smartphone, but obviously are outclassed by other devices costing upwards of ten times as much.  In summary, a lot of the cheaper Chinese phones are pretty good, but read a few reviews first.  Hope that helps

Thanks for the response. Will look at those options.

I use a Huawei G620s as a sat nav on the bike as I like the 5" screen. As a phone it's ok but noticeably slower and a clumsier keyboard than my Galaxy s5, but then it's about a quarter of the price...
