which android to buy?

If you can stretch to £350 the Google Google Pixel 3a has just dropped in price pending new models from Google. It has the same camera as the more expensive pixel 3.

I have just bought a xiaomi mi A2 lite. £150 seems a fantastic phone for the money. It upgraded itself to Android 9 and is part of the Android One program which gives an element of future proofing.

My vote would be for the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 - it was available for £500 on Amazon Prime Day, and while it's a little higher again now (roughly £585), for what you get in that phone, you won't find better value anywhere else.

All depends on the OPs budget, I suspect £500 might be too much.

Motorola's are a fairly safe budget choice. Just watch out they tend to have no compass which is infuriating.

I wouldn't say they are known for their cameras either. They are ok cameras but not amazing.

Honor 9 lite here very happy.
Paid just over 120/140 last year after cashback must be cheaper now.
One was JL the other CPW.
The cheap one was a discount with 1 month sim that got cancelled.

If camera is your priority you might want something different.

Very pleased with them, the helpful CW guy transferred our EE sims for us. Camera is fine, just came back from a Danube cruise with some great photos. Sony software is a big plus and there is a full Guide on the phone with instructions for everything. We love them.

In my opinion, Samsung Galaxy A series is fine. It has several models for multiple prices. So you can choose one of those models according to your needs. currently, I am using A10 and it is simply faster and wide-screen. It worth for its price

The Samsung phones are generally overpriced for the specs. You can get more for your money elsewhere.

and Samsung is full of bloat not pure Android

The latest A series are reasonably priced when compare to other.
