    Hey all,

    Looking for some advice. I have a Galaxy S8, it unfortunately got a bit smashed so I need to replace it. Requirements are as follows:
    1. Similar speed as S8
    2. Must have NFC (for Google Pay)
    3. Decent screen (doesn't have to be top of the range, but decent resolution/etc would be good. Don't want a tiny screen)
    4. USB C would be nice (I have a USB C thumb drive)
    5. Don't care about camera, don't care about headphone jack
    6. Sim free or Vodafone (I'm stuck in Vodafone contract until February next year)

    I have a voucher from Dunnes for this offer: https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2058007191, so I could get an A20e for €69 (or probably €89 if the T&Cs are followed and you need to top up with €20. Are there comparable phones at similar prices available? I don't mind having to order online and wait a bit for say a Chinese phone. I also don't mind getting one in stores here, or I will be in UK next week if there's a decent option there.

    Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

    what's your budget?

    for less than 300

    mi 9t is the best value phone with all your requirements at the moment

    eglobalcentral.eu for cheapest price but 10 to 12 days waiting

    honorbuy for a bit more expensive but 2 business day delivery

    no customs in either case as comes through eu

    fast cpu, big battery, good screen. good camera

    less than 300

    if you're looking at really cheap phones that a20 e looks ok

    Yeah MI 9T
    Or Mi 9t Pro if your budget can stretch.
    Very good bang for buck. You'll be well pleased I'd say.
    Check pricing on amazon.es .de .fr and .it
