can anyone recommend me a phone ?

My budget is about £100.

I need a rear camera with flash and a 5 inch screen. Would prefer a android as my banking app isnt available only appears to be available on android and apple devices.

Also would like to be able to have Google Chrome but am open to other browsers.

Ive been looking about and im not sure what to go for. Ive currently got a s3 mini.

Thanks in advance.

I would look at the Motorola Moto G.

The normal version (non 4G) I've seen that it's been under £100 in Tesco with the 4G version down to £115 in Tesco recently.

For a 5" phone, if you can stretch your budget up by about £50. The Moto G (2nd Generation), would your best bet.

3rd vote for the Moto G. Really good phone.

DinkyDoo · 30-01-2015, 10:47

Thank you will look at that one.

Meant to add I not fussed about 4G as we cant get where I live.

Just seen this on the UK hot deals site:

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/tesc...132223?aui=298

Also if you know somebody that works for Tesco you can get 10% off as well.

Worth getting 4G for future proofing.

Also no need to worry about it being locked to Tesco as you can get unlock codes off Ebay for under £2 (as we did with my wifes one).

You've got £100 to spend on something better than the S3 mini? Isn't the S3 mini worth more than that new? Lol

Ben_Fisher · 30-01-2015, 18:23

Moto G for sure. 2013 with model and with 4G if it will stretch into the budget (I have seen it nearing £100).

I never said it had to be better

my mini is too small, it hurts my eyes and I need something with a bigger screen, but dont want to spend money on a full size s4 when I pretty much just use it as a phone, I rarely email on it.

I use the camera alot and use it as a sat nav too.

Somebody linked the 4G version in this thread for £100, it can be unlocked for £1-2 on ebay, did the exact same thing to both my parents.

They been using the non 4G version for about a year and it's fantastic, getting a lollipop update any day! If my Nexus broke, I could easily use this phone as a daily phone.
