This phone is Garbage! It's the worst phone that I've ever had. It takes up to 10 - 20 seconds to pull up the text. It freezes and lags very bad. My 90s phone back in the day ran faster than this trash. It's so slow that I miss phone calls when I try to answer them. I have to call people back because it's too slow to answer. This was straight out of the box. I'll never buy a Nokia product again. The phone that I had before this one was a $20 LG phone and it was a super computer compared to this trash phone.

If i... moreYou can go for the slightly older Nokia C01 Plus if the C100 isn't available, or even more older models such as Nokia 2.3, 3.2 (they aren't the best for gaming so keep that in mind), 4.2, 5.3, 6.2 etc. If it's possible, you can go for the Nokia 8 released in 2017.
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'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

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

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?
