Recommend a phone under 500 euro

Hi, im in need of a new phone, my current phone is 5 years old, no space and a dated camera. As I dont buy new phones regularly im looking for something good quality that will last me at least 2 - 3 years, it also needs to have allot of space and a good camera. I dont play games on my phone and really only use it for photos and the usual social media apps. I also want a pre pay phone and im not really interested in I phones.
Can anyone recommend anything? There is so much online its hard to know whats worth the money and whats not.
Thanks.

Thanks, this looks great but I should have specified, I'll need a phone I can buy locally, in a phone shop - its not on either eir, three or carphone warehouse website so im assuming its not in the shop either, I dont want to to buy online.

Amazon are only the world's biggest online retailer with much better service than any b&m shop!

Got some hot cash to get rid of?!

It's the p20 pro that you'd want, not the p20

No I dont have hot cash to get rid of but im a technophobe when it comes to phones, as I said, I have my current phone 5 years and it was an old model when I bought it.
Its allot more convenient for me buy it in a local shop, that way if ive any issues with it I can easily get it sorted.

Fair enough!

Well I would say that you'd get better service from amazon.

if there is an issue you send it back and they give you another one.

a phone shop will send your phone off to a repair location - it won't be fixed in the shop and often takes longer between the sending out to there and getting it back. you could be waiting a long time to get an issue rectified.

if you break a screen etc that's you own fault you'll be going somewhere else to get it fixed.

if it's a query about android then ask someone who is tech savvy.

most of the value in phones is online and amazon is the best online retailer in terms of customer service.
