    I was thinking of getting a refurbished iphone 4. I've always had android all along. I know it's an older model but that doesn't bother me. Can anyone tell me if it's worth getting? I currently have am M4 aqua Sony.

    I gave my old iPhone 4 to my 9 year old as a tablet (no SIM card) and it was so slow she went back to android tablet. The 4 just cannot keep up. I don't know what your phone is but my wife got a Motorola G4 on Amazon and loves it. Reasonable pricing for sim unlocked phone with excellent specs.

    It's a Sony M4 aqua water resistant. The memory is very low in it even though I got a vast sd card. The android system takes up the whole phone.

    Nope, iPhone 4 is too old. iPhone 5 minimum.

    The iPhone 4 just got declared obsolete by apple so the 4s is next for the chop. If you are looking for something to last 2 years then as per the above, the 5 or the 5s is minimum.

    Is it the deal on Groupon or living social you are buying from? Personally I wouldn't waste my money, as mentioned above it will be very slow, and probably comes with a limited warranty.
    The Moto G4 as mentioned above is 179 in argos, looks like a good phone , I'm tempted to get one myself.
