Cheaper phone with 128gb storage.

anotherquestion

Hi folks,

My partner is on the lookout for a not expensive phone £150-200 price mark as her older Samsung phone 32gb keeps filling up, tried cleaners etc, but its really time she had more internal storage., she has a sd card.

I have read good stuff about the Moto g13 which has 128gb, she is a Samsung fan, but it seems all their phones are in the expensive bracket.

Any ideas gratefully appreciated.
Many thanks.

Try a refurb phone from Amazon or one of the phone companies such as Giff Gaff.  I know you're not looking at an iPhone but as an indicator I bought a refurbished  64 GB SE 2020 for just under £200

Previously twice a Samsung Galaxy S series owner, converted to the MOTO G4 and stayed with the MOTO series since.  I see very little likelihood that we (my wife or I) will convert away from the MOTO series phones when we next upgrade.
The MOTO does everything the Samsung does, but maybe not quite as flash with the graphics, though that is a plus in my book.
One factor that has been mentioned about the MOTO series phones is, apparently, shorter period for software updates.

Argos seem to have good prices quite regularly.  I note they have the G13 at £130:

Against that, the extra £10 for the G14 is probably worth it:

I know it does not meet the storage requirement, but if I was buying today, I'd probably go for the £100 G32:

You might be disappointed with a recent Motorola as they have introduced promoted apps. Basically it looks like a folder but the apps in it are essentially adverts to download the app.

They've also a data/privacy policy you'll want to scrutinise.

If you wanted to stay with Samsung and can stretch to £249 then the current deal on the A34 seems good to me

EDIT : might even be 10% off that with TopCashback.

I noticed that Tesco had the G14 "SIM-FREE" at the same price as Argos (£139.99) when I was in the store today.  You'd have to double check that the "SIM_FREE" phone is truly that and unlocked.  If it ism you would be able to get Clubcard points on the purchase so saving an extra few pence.

All new phones sold today (and for the last couple of years) are unlocked.

You can currently get one of the latest Moto mobiles - G84 - with a massive 256 Gb storage and 5G compatible for £201 on Amazon (normally retails for approx £250). I'm getting one myself, my wife already has one

This is an EU import but all that means is that the charger plug is a European double pin plug, if you have an existing Moto charger that will do the job or you can buy a cheap one for a few quid
