Hi looking for some direction please, my wife would like to replace her old phone and tablet, we are talking old.
Phone is a Moto G5 that’s about 6 years old
Tablet Samsung Galaxy tab A 10.1 16GB +2GB Ram. That’s about 8 years old.
As you can see, both very basic gear. She has around £350 to £400 to spend.
Phone is just for calls, texts, what’s app and e bay. Tablet is mostly for e bay, emails, photos and general surfing.
Any recommendations very much appreciated.
I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
I listen all night for your step on the stair.

I've been very happy with Samsung over the years. I tried Motorola and hated it.Phone - Samsung A25 5GTablet - Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+1

I am still running an even older Moto G5 but a year ago I bought a Moto G82 in readiness for the former's demise.1

I'm using a Samsung A9+ tablet and am pleased with it. The phone is quite old (A Samsung A70). Samsung perhaps have a better reputation for keeping updates going for longer than Motorola.2

Very happy with the Galaxy Tab S9 FE I found at John Lewis for £269 in June. The Galaxy A15 phone at around £150 does well on the review sites.1

For tablet, check out if anyone sell Redmi pad pro cheap on facebook market place.
Xiaomi recently do a deal for Xiaomi 14T + Redmi pad pro for £500. It is likely there are people selling the tablet.0
