Sim free mobile phone recommendations in £100-£150 mark

Options
My iPhone 6 has had it and I am cross because it’s only lasted about 2 years (having upgraded from a Samsung which lasted a lot longer).

I am happy with my sim contract so am looking to buy a phone outright. I don’t have any affinity to any particular brand, neither do I care about having the newest/fanciest or whatever phone.

All I do on my phone is text, take photos and browse the internet.

I’d like a phone that takes good photos, has a decent battery life, is reasonably priced, and will ideally last longer than 18months-2years! Also a niggle with Samsung was that my phone ran out of space quickly so would need at least 32gb I think. Oh also this sounds weird but I have tiny hands and the iPhone 6 is too big for me to use one handed so I definitely wouldn’t want anything massive.

If anyone has any recommendations I would be grateful.

Thank you

    Or Moto G7 Play, it's a smaller screen(5.7") and overall size compared to the Power. Around £120, although it does only have 2GB RAM and 3GB storage (expandable).

    mobile become bigger these days. there are not many small smart phone.

    consider Samsung A40 if you want a smaller phone.
    New for £220
    Argos ebay refurb £171
  • Have a look at the Sony phones, they tend to be small.
  • Tiny hands = iPhone SE 64 gb from CEX with a 2 year warranty for around £150.
    The phone is still up to date and snappy and the camera is good quality.
