Herself has a Moto G play, showing its age and very laggy. Budget around 200 euro. Any recommendations from you very knowledable chaps.

Appreciate it.

What network is she on?

I just picked up a Vodafone smart x9 . 150 quid
Has NFC. So far so good.

Honor 9 Lite or 10 Lite for a little bit more

Whichever of the Nokias is in that price bracket. Probably the 6.1.

Yes neither of those phones have, don't think any Xiaom's have it, not sure why.

The Motorola G7 Power https://www.stuff.tv/features/which-motorola-moto-g7-should-you-buy if she wants to stay with Motorola there good phones.

The Huawei PSmart 2019 is a decent looking phone could easily pass for a €1500 apple phone and it's under €200 there's the few versions make sure it's the 2019

Just checked specs. No NFC on G7 Power

honor 9 lite is probably your best option price and value wise.

has NFC

I'm looking at similar spec and price range atm, and the Umidigi F1 ticks most boxes. Havnt ordered yet but most likely will.

Has NFC, 4g compatible etc camera may be on poor side but price is great for overall spec.

fritzelly · 23-02-2019 10:09PM

If she likes the moto range then go for the G6, within your budget

Picked one up today. Some phone for the money. I'll give it 3 months tops before it's dropped. Actually must get a cover for it.

Thanks drunkmonkey
