And the budget is....
For a bigger screen (5") check Moto G (2nd gen) and Huawei Honor.
HUKD: Huawei Honor 3C Dual SIM (Black/White - SIM Free) £109.80 @ Clove (1.3 GHz Quad Core processor, 2 GB RAM, 5.0" 720 x 1280 IPS LCD display, 8 MP main camera, 5 MP selfie camera0 -
If you are not wedded to Apple or Android, take a look at the Lumia Windows phones. Argos (for example) sell from £70 up, but your choice of apps will be restricted.0

The Nozia 535 has a 5" screen, 8GB HDD, 1GB RAM and quad-core and can be had for £40. It should come unlocked. It also has 2 x 5MP cams, with LED flash.

Thanks Grumbler - looked at the reviews and it seems pretty OK for my needs.
Do you think the fact that it has an old Android O/S would represent a major drawback?0 -
