This might not be the best place to ask this as you’ll all be asking far more of your phones than I ever will, but I need to buy a mobile phone so friends can get a hold of me when we meet up in a different city next month. The battery on the mobile I bought when I moved two years ago won’t take a charge now.

I’m mostly housebound because of chronic illness and my life is very lonely, so even when I am out it’s not like anyone is trying to reach me. Home internet with a laptop and tablet serves 99.999% of my needs.

So I suppose the big criteria is that the bloody thing won’t die when I don’t manage to keep it charged.

EDIT: I bought a replacement battery for £17. It should be here end of the week. What I need is a grandkid who can just tell me those sorts of things. Anyone want to adopt me? 🙃

    I’d argue that the nokia software is better than Samsung! It has fewer bells and whistles but that’s precisely why it’s better. It’s stock and updates regularly.

    Lenovo is pretty much the same but they don’t update as regularly because they have too many devices on their portfolio.

    I bought a cheap nokia tab and it is excellent for watching videos and playing non-demanding games.
