To answer to your requirements properly, there is no mobile with 8gb of RAM and with a modest SOC which falls within your budget and if you need clean Stock Android there is no mobile with HMD. Hope you can understand your situation. Good luck.

If you don't like any of them, just increase your budget or stop using mobiles. Wait for Black Friday deals to see if some mobile falls within your budget.

She hates Nokia smartphones because there slow
The problem with Nokia phones is they slower than similar or lower spec Chinese smartphones as they get endless android os version updates that slow them down too a crawl
The Nokia g10 on Android 12 is the perfect example of this it can't handle or cope with android 12 and worsed of all it will get even slower when android 13 update comes
Even generic phone we got from wish still out class the Nokia phones in performance in the os & ul and browser thanks too running older more stable versions of android
The Nokia g10 was expected too be smoother than the generic p30 pro or at least my mum's old Samsung j3 that can't make calls at least it can run candy crush unlike the g10 with whipping 3-5 minutes loading times
The problem with Nokia g50 or Nokia x10 with only 6gb ram & only snapdragon 480 is there basically budget smartphone with moderate performance at best that get slowed down by updates back too square one in a year
8gb ram really is bare minimum for most people I get a 12gb ram if It was possible
Sadly we only have 150 pound budget too work with
Normal people only care about performance above all else
All normal people care about is how smooth a smartphone runs in day to day usage and battery life

Nokia is competitive in the sub 100 pound price range a price range where Nokia is value for money brand
A good alternative is possibly Alcatel brand the main competitor of the Nokia brand
In 2022 it's choose between Nokia or Alcatel for budget smartphones in the UK market

You may be able to buy something like Nokia G50 that is much cheaper than its launch price, and it's fairly decent given that it has 6GB RAM and 128GB storage.
Keep less expectations if you buy something dirt cheap. You'd be impressed. That's why I ended up getting a Nokia 8 whereas I could get so many phones from Chinese brands and Samsung alike for a few hundred dollars more than what I paid for the Nokia 8.

Anyone has any idea if in android 13 you van change that big lock screen clock into something smaller sized or no clock at all? Cause it looks way too large and oversized and I find it annoying on my X30 lock screen.

I look at infinix or tecno and similar phones
Like hotwav phones i think there generic?
There is also TCL or possibly a OEM phone if any match the 8gb ram spec requirements
It's possible get 8gb ram at 150 pound it's just hard too find as there often from strange Chinese brands or made for other markets

As the blootware slow down there phones plus other problems such as ads etc
It's doubtful the Nokia x20 can be found that cheap
The Snapdragon 480 also questionable and Android OS updates are disliked
The Nokia 8 does have a old flagship processor as well as running on older Android version that has lower system requirements
All the smartphones that are smooth do all of the 8gb ram amount in common 8gb ram already bare minimum coming into 2023
Ideally we get another umidigi a9 pro or original Nubia red magic 8gb ram phone but there hard too find cheap
Again
The Nokia x20 not really a opinion anyone as my mum hates the Nokia brand because of bad experience with 2 different Nokia phones with poor performance

Imho 6GB RAM is overkill for someone who doesn't use their phone too much, especially those who don't play heavy games, but 4GB RAM with stock Android runs faster than any 8GB or 10GB RAM smartphone with bloatware.
P.s.: I've had over 120 tabs open in chrome on my Nokia 8 and it surprisingly never lagged or crashed, despite having only 4GB of RAM, and that's what people call the "bare minimum" these days

Before the Nokia g10 she used my Nokia 3.1 for a day she borrowed it but come back screen protector broken storage corrupted and even battery drained
The Nokia did get screen protector replacement it's screen was fine and we just used instructions manual too recovery the OS and reset the phone
X10 doesn't have a 8gb ram version sadly my mum is a multi tasker she opens like 50-100 web pages & will try to answer calls at same time as play candy crush and just do a lot at the same time
Snapdragon 480 also reason for consern about the performance of it in the UI & OS in future versions of Android
We had a lot of problems with how buggy Android 12 is
And how badly it runs on budget smartphones
The Android updates was the deal breaker as they slow down already slow phones and we don't want too beta test new Android versions & software
We are needing 8gb ram bare minimum
I look for other brands with better specs it's kinda hard too find 8gb ram smartphones at 150 pound in the uk

Unfortunately 6gb ram will be too sluggish
It's for my mum she just wants too surf the web FB use online shopping play candy crush messager
Although she is not necessary what you call a power user she will typically have open 50 too a 100 web pages in at least one web browser open candy crush Saga have the camera app open settings menu call text messager and everything open and switch between them and use both at same time
My mum does rather heavy multi tasking in a way but only does what should be just the basics
So 8gb ram really is bare minimum

And I agree about the G10, my dad bought one and it is very sluggish with poor connectivity. Beware false economy.

Long story short the phone is painfully slow & sluggish on Android 12 and has many problems

Got a budget 150 pound maximum need a bare minimum of 8gb ram amount
Just need smooth smartphone performance
