Good stuff, its payg anyway so i guess i can bin it off if it doesn't work well.

First time i have used this tesco direct and it seems i have 28 pounds worth of points i never knew i had and i get free next day delivery because i am a delivery saver for my grocery. I'm beginning to like tesco

I have got the Huawei Ascend, it was my son's old phone, they have come down in price now and are quite cheap. I find it is fine for what I use it for.

If you can wait until the end of the month, there is the Wileyfox Storm for £199. I'm currently waiting for one to get delivered cos my Nexus 5 is getting a little long in the tooth and has a cracked screen. It has a good sized screen (if you like that sort of thing) decent processor, 3GB RAM, 32GB storage (expandable to 128GB) and runs Cyanogen OS 12.1 (Open Source Android).

Alternatively, do a Google for budget Android phone reviews and then go into the shops and see what you think when you hold them yourself.

Don't forget EE's Rook - a smartphone for £50...
But lay on hands & have a play first!

Lots of reviews on Amazon

Would be as slow as hell 4g storage not even that after operator software so about just over 2g storage and also a slow 1g dual core processor will be lagging like hell.

Hi

A very good phone is the Windows 635 Lumia Phone! You can get it for £80 from Argos and it is 4G enabled with excellent features basically a laptop in your hand. The next is the 640 which is around £120! There isn't a need to spend 100s£s to get a great phone

I have just got in my hand here a Samsung J5 (its for someone else), about £155 for black, bit more for White - SIM free and 4G, 13MP camera.

Very, very nice. Running Lollipop but Samsung have tidied that up a bit so even better, extremely snappy and usual gorgeous Samsung AMOLED 5" screen, very rich. Touch screen is so sensitive. 7.9mm thick with 2600mah replaceable battery.

Popped a 64GB SD card in so that should last a while. The main spec. areas are befitting a more expensive phone, they just shaved a couple of bits off it nothing vital, like the soft-keys are not lit but still clear enough symbols and hasn't got some of the extra sensors like air pressure. But then has unusually a front flash too, for the 'selfie' generation.

Doesn't claim to have Gorilla Glass but it seems tough enough, there is a video on youtube of some nutter with a carving knife attacking it and its OK.

I know the recipient is going to be chuffed.
