Best cheap-ish phone with good battery & large screen (maybe €200 - €250)

    My 14 year old nephew has a Xperia E (I think) but wants to pick up a new phone primarily for gaming and videos I would imagine more than calls and text (kids, eh?!).

    But probably something ideally with a 5" - 5.5" screen and a solid battery.. he was thinking a 5c but it's crazy money for a him - especially if just primarily gaming and videos.

    He already has a tablet to be honest (which would be ideal for this) but for some reason, he'd like a new phone.

    I'd recommend my current phone (OnePlus One) but stock levels for it still seem to be a little patchy - and he's probably willing to pay €200 - €250 at a push.

    I used to be the person to recommend phones.. but not so much an active phone buying so any recommendations here would be appreciated. He's on 3 Prepay if that helps (i.e if they're any in their store worth recommending!).

    I have the Vodafone smart ultra 6 the last 3 weeks and it's fantastic. At 170 Euro in Vodafone (costs about a fiver for unlock code online if needed) you get a 5.5 inch octacore 2gb ram, 16gb built in, 13mpxl camera, 5mpxl front camera, SD card slot ,BT, WIFI, 4G and a 3000mah battery(i get Just under 2 days with heavy usage.

    Excellent value for money I'd highly recommend.

    Ha - cheers lads!

    Doesn't seem to be in stock on site at minute... does it often replenish or would it be available in-store?
