Also Samsung makes good camera lenses, ssds and durables but terrible smartphones, judging by the ones I've owned and the ones I've tested, even those M series, A series etc are terrible in terms of user experience

    if i can get the nokia c100 unlocked i buy it

    If i can't get the nokia c100 do you have any suggestions

    so samsung is really bad ? Ok
    samsung j3 is very slow and freeze up always
    all of the samsung j3 phones slow family had a few of them
    I don't think much of Samsung phones either or owned one but have used them

    I have had a mostly good time with Samsung SSDs for laptops have had many ssd from Samsung
    big sample size i have personal experience with however i never used a ssd from another brand only memory sticks from samdisk unbranded & PNY
    PNY memery stick slow & dead after a 3 mouths Samdisk was mostly good
    unbranded sometimes my data gets corrupted

    I have never had a sd card from Samsung or any brand am not sure if its just the samsung is just really bad at making phones or if there just a bad brand

    does this mean the avoid the cheap

      Also on a side note, avoid buying and/or recommending any Samsung phone. No matter how good their marketing is and how overpriced their models are, they don't age well (also from my personal experience). Their quality went down the drain since the Note7 explosions

        yes that's a really good point good stock android software nokia phones also update too newer versions of android something i really do like

        Having a phone i can keep forever is much better too me then something that die after 2 years
        for me a smartphone is always useful too have even when obsolete as long as it works

        it's clear what phone is better now thanks

You're paying a tiny bit extra for a phone with no ads and bloatware, and it's worth it. And not to mention, a removable battery with 4000mAh capacity which itself is a rarity nowadays!!!

              you have to suffer, 06 Jul 2022get the TCL A3. cheaper than nokia c100 but its a bit large... moreI look up the price

              nokia c100 50 pound
              TCL a3 40 pound
              Yeah the specs do look alike
              The nokia does run android 12 that is one version newer

              There is one problem with the TCL A3 smartphone it should be even cheaper
              scalpers 40 pound is the there price
              i think it was 30 pound 1 years again

              I do wonder what corners where cut too get the price so low back then
              cheap storage maybe ?

              The nokia c100 does cost more yeah
              I do trust the nokia brand and want my phone stay up too date for as long as possible
              would the nokia c100 be a better long term decision ?

              A problem i do have with both phones is i need them unlocked so if i can't buy either what do i get ?

              you did say a old flagship would be good a HTC one m9 cheap it is possible i might find one worth getting my only problem with the htc one m9 is the very low ifixit rating

              Another possible phone i can find is a generic smartphone and not have too pay for a branding and the phone name too get phone cheaper

              generic smartphones do fit in my price range
              the soyes i11s looks good
              there is also s22 ultra

              if anyone knows of any really cheap suggested them
              my mum is also looking for a cheap smartphone as well

                  am from the uk so phone prices are often high and shipping costs

                  oppo a3s i can't find anyway too buy
                  realme c3 nearly 200 pound :(
                  The redmi 5a is pricely too may be full of bloatware i think this brand best avoided

                  Am not able too custom rom a smartphone myself i don't know how
                  so i be stuck with the android version a smartphone comes with

                  any other suggestions ? for phones ?

                  I did find a new TCL A3 cheap 40 pound but wound need unlocked
                  same problom as with the nokia c100 if i was too buy

                        Just bought this phone 3 days ago. Very slow and very laggy. Apps cut out at random after just a few minutes or seconds in some cases. If u don't mind browsing and everything else having several seconds of delay between you hing the screen and anything happening than this phone is fine for u but I wish I would've spent the extra ten bucks and gotten a different phone :(

                          In any case your device is, by design, about to die. Either because the components start failing or because the battery is just dead. This leaves aside even getting such a phone in any kind of reasonable condition.

                          Why isn't *anyone* making sensible phones?
