New Android phone to replace Nextbit Robin

    Hi

    My lovely Nextbit Robin died today, battery had been giving guff for last few weeks but it won't turn at all anymore even when plugged in and charging. Internal battery and doubt there is much hope in fixing it for an economical price. Paid 120 for it and got 2.5 years service out of it which is good going I suppose.

    So looking for a replacement. Main thing I'm looking for is bloatware free Android and decent sound output, as the Robin had two great front facing speakers. I'm not a gamer, don't take many photos and mainly use phone for podcasts, email, reading paper apps, netflix, spotify, banking apps etc. NFC and fast charge would also be a requirement.

    Budget is around €300 or so.

    Cheers.

    mi 9 se on eglobal for less than 300 is a great option imo

    it's miui, not stock android but it's a very good phone with a good cpu, fast charging, super AMOLED screen and good cameras + NFC

    there won't be too many apps on it but you could root the phone and remove them if you really wanted to.

    You might find a Pixel 2 near that money and they tick both your boxes.
