    Argos have the Samsung a80 128gb for €351.
    Is this a good price for this phone?
    Tried checking the mobile carriers but couldn't find it on any of their sites.
    Thanks

    Yes it is a very good price for this phone. I would however personally choose the Poco X3 over it, but that's personal preference. :)

    It's for a teenager, they would either like a Samsung or iPhone 8.
    Am hoping he will stick with Android as I hate the iPhones.
    I think it's a no brainer between a new Samsung or a couple of year old iPhone, but what do I know :-)

    Tell the teenager that the Poco X3 has a much larger battery, a much better screen, much faster charging and a better camera and he'll also save their parent (?) some money in the process. :)

    You're the parent. You tell him he gets regardless of what he wants. Teenagers break things and it's a lot cheaper to break and fix/replace an android phone than an iPhone.

    Not necessarily. And iPhone 7/8/SE are far cheaper to repair than a Samsung flagship phone. Lcd v Oled.
    To the OP, just get him the new SE. Not to expensive and cheap to fix if he breaks it.
