    Looking for a phone for my mother, she currently uses a Vodafone own brand one that's about 3yrs old and run its course.

    She just needs something with large storage for photos, she loves taking pictures (all the time!), after that she just really wants it for a banking app, Facebook, WhatsApp etc.

    A good camera probably a plus, but one with minimal work to use, her own takes routinely blurred photos, it's focus isn't good and slow to take.

    Thanks Skippy.

    If buying on foreign websites, what do I need to look out for to ensure it will work for Vodafone Ireland?

    Is it just unlocked I look for?

    The Mi 10 is about to come out, likely above budget tho. Mi Note 10 looks to be a great phone and doesn't have the gimmicky pop us camera.

    A number of people have bought from Honour buy... Seems the most popular... If buying click on EU warehouse and DHL delivery and you'll be good to go should have in a few days.. You'll get a tracking number number from them

    All the phones are unlocked to any network

    I can vouch for the mi note 10, steady, amoled,good camera, didn't like it at first- wanted bigger but now thinking it's one of the better ones around for the price

    She doesn't need large storage she needs to set Google photos to back up constantly and use the free up space option on the Google photos app to free up memory on her phone. Make sure she has plenty of data on her plan.
    Look at picking her up a Google Pixel 3a
