    Xioami Mi A2 Lite. Bought in Singapur for £140 but it's available in GearBest at £150 (I bought the previous one there and I was going to do the same, but a friend happened to be in Singapur and I asked her to bring it as it was quicker than waiting for it to arrive from China).

    Does it have Android 1?

    Yes with the Pie version (9)
  • So to clarify... Exact model and where you bought it and price please?

    The Xiaomi A2 & the Xiaomi A2 Lite are actually very different phones despite the misleading naming convention.

    I got the A2 Lite 4/32GB version via Gearbest for £154(?) myself but they now sell directly from the UK.

    "best value" is a too vague term.

    And beware, the newest phones have a higher screen-to-body ratio.

    It really depends what you need on a phone, I found this website quite useful:

    For me dual sim and a decent battery life were essential, but you might want different things.

    Any member have serious opinions and/or experience of the NOKIA 3.1 PLUS please ?

    ... and can anyone confirm are there 3 "card" slots ?
    I believe it has a Hybrid slot for use in dual SIM mode or to expand memory to 400GB ....

    .. but is this in addition to a "normal" SDCARD slot as well as the 1st SIM slot?

    Given it comes with 32gb I wondered if it achieved the 400 (ish) by adding 256GB in the "memory" slot and then a further 128GB in the Hybrid.

    Specifications I've found seem rather vague over this but everything else looks quite reasonable for £150 (was £180)
    6" HD+ display
    2gHz octo processor
    3GB RAM
    2 day battery (3500mAh)

    Cheers
