    Hi all, wife has a Mi A2 lite which took a drop today and screen is gone, I've looked around at the likes of honorbuy where I'd normally pick up a phone with fast delivery time (given the current pandemic stock is sold out) was looking at maybe the redmi note 8t, open to any suggestions for sub 200 with similar specs and might be delivered within a 7 -10 days, I know not difficult at all 😀

    I bought an A2 Lite for my wife about 18 months ago. It's pretty good, and so when I came to replace my phone some time ago I went with an A3. I'd recommend that.

    Replacement phone for wife
    Seems like a good deal. Can you put it on silent?

    Stock seems to be the issue, and delivery time , could stretch to 250 but getting the phone here in a reasonable timeframe is the issue

    pixel 3a's bought by punters trying to cash in are available new on adverts for that money or less due to the vodafone deal (now gone)

    true stock android (not the poorly supported android one) and a camera that can't be beat under €550.

    all google phones are unlocked and can be used on any network

    redmi mi note8 seems nice or MI a3 if you can spare extra 50 quid on top.

    :D:D:D:D

    I like the idea of 200~ quid for one. My phone broke and I'm in dire need of a new one. Thanks for posting about them on adverts, hadn't thought of that!

    Got the wife a Moto G7 Power and she is really pleased with it. Battery life is off the charts! Slightly envious of her given I've got what I'd consider one of the best phones of the last decade with a battery that doesnt even last the day anymore.

    Cheers for the reply guys, I ended up ordering the redmi note 9s from honorbuy so hopefully it will be here next week all going well.
