I have wrote down the details of the Chinese phones yes a brand new phone is surely better than a 5 year old phone ! I walk with a walking stick and that was stolen in my country yes it’s true I was talking on a seat and it had gone that’s why I don’t want to pay £400 for a phone !
Sorry to hear that Mike, unfortunately you here of it all the time. I only read yesterday some scooter rider snatched somebodys phone riding past.
A quicky the Xiomi redmi note 10 pro (more specs towards the bottom of my last post to ajn) apart from decent specs it has both face unlock and fingerprint unlock. Its worth remembering though if an Iphone or Android get into the wrong hand with those with the know it is easy to bypass all this. Yes I can do it for legit reasons and no I’m not a theif lol., but you need the hardwares and software to do so and if someone as legit lost or cant recover their credidentials I can do it but I need proof.
Eight I’m talking about brand new shop brought amazon argos etc. The Iphone Se is about £450 thexiomi 10 pro £237. Its alot less painfull if that got stolen. If your going Android chinese korean taiwan even the iphones made in china I would like / recommend you go mid range. Apart from maybe opening the eyes of your friends they really do have a better spec and screen quality in this case amoled (oled) If it is your desire to go budget because it has little impact on you wallet if it gets pinched. Please just beware they are of a lower spec and screen quality won’t be great even possibly worse than your current Iphone, but they will do every day basic tasks
There are other midrange phones that could be cheaper and will have better specs screen quality maynot oled but overall better that came out in late 21-22 if you would like me to look when I get back from shopping?
