    Meteor have offered me the following phones as an upgrade option,

    Would anyone tell me not to go near any of these

    htc desire 530 @ €79

    htc desire 825 @ €99

    or

    Galaxy A3 @ €129

    Galaxy A5 @ €149

    Galaxy j3 @ 79

    id be in favour of a FM radio and this lessens my desire for the desire 825 however I think this has the better camera with a 16 megapixel camera - (you cant have everything )

    they are all 16gb internal memory apart from the J3 so that rules this out

    Some of them seem to run lollipop (which i guess is a good thing) but some are stated to run Android 5.1.1 - no idea what this is ( is it just Meteors lack of filling in the details on their website or is it the same as lollipop?

    Anyone any light they can share about any of these phones - I would be grateful.

    HI,

    A few reviews which might help

    HTC 530

    HTC 825

    Galaxy A3

    Galaxy A5

    I'm a fan of HTC's generally, but had a lot of issues with the M8 (charging port, battery life degrading). So If it was me i'd go for a Sammy - based on the reviews the A3 might be a good option.

    Hope this helps,

    JP

    i cant justify the spending of more than 100 Euro on a phone, FFS is the world gone mad.

    Jeez Im getting old.

    If I was to spend 2 or 3 hundred Euro I would consider a tablet but on a phone No way!

    Thanks for the advice though -

    Having used Samsung, iPhone and HTC, I'm a fan of HTC myself. I would try them all out in the shop and see what you like best :)

    Or you could get a Sim only plan with VF (€25/month,unlimited texts, unlimited calls to landlines and mobile, 2 GB data) and buy a Huawei Y6 for €99

    Thats my current setup afters years on Bill Pay and very happy so far
