Smartphone €300 max

Wife needs a new phone. She has a VF smart ultra 8 currently.

I have the mi a2 lite. Was thinking of getting the same but interested to hear opinions.

Would like:

Decent camera
SD card
Android one.

Was thinking of the mi a2 maybe I see it doesn't have an SD card slot, in that case I might swap phones give herself the a2 lite and I'll take the a2.

Is the pocofone worth the extra money?

Thanks

pocophone for better battery life over a2 as even tho more battery-intensive cpu, battery fair bit bigger
camera also better than a2 when using gcamera (google camera)

no native android one on poco but you could prob put a stock android rom on it

go google "pocophone f1 xda forum" to see what the current state of roms is for it

There is a Huawei P20 lite and a Motorola G6 in our house. Both 64Gb so no need for SD card. Latest Android and good Ram. Both well under 300 and very decent phones.

Does she need NFC?
If so then consider Honor Play.
Otherwise look at a Pocophone.

Nokia 7.1 or 8.1
