    Recently smashed the screen glass on my reliable old pixel 4a and repair quotes are coming in at up to 200e which doesn't make sense given age of phone.

    What would people recommend for a replacement, ideally no more than 200-300e and I suppose I'd consider 2nd hand given I'm broke after my honeymoon.

    Happy with the pixel 4a generally other than battery life.

    Much appreciated

    Hey Alkers, not sure if you're still on the lookout, but the Nothing Phone 2a looks like a pretty compelling offer at 349€: https://ie.nothing.tech/products/phone-2a

    It's probably the most distinctive non-folding phone on the market right now and if this review is anything to go by, it seems like quite the powerhouse:

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!

    Thanks for that, I just received a refurbed Pixel 7 in the post today. It's only marginally larger than my OH's Pixel 7a.

    Was €330 or so, really didn't want to spend that much but wasn't much else catching my eye.
