Hi
Please help me find a new phone.
I was hoping to spend about £250 to buy outright, no contracts.
I noticed that the Google Pixel 6a was available for a little over £300 so I might stretch to a little over £300
for something special ie something that's great value and highly recommended.
My needs
I have two PAYG SIMs so I need an unlocked phone with Dual SIM capability. I have just found out about eSIM's (through reading up on the Pixel 6a) but it seems (I hope I'm wrong) you have to sign up and pay monthly for an eSIM, you can't simply use it with a SIM you already have.
I need 5G and I rate quick and long lasting charging over camera capabilities.
As I'm deaf, I need clear and loud calls, and hopefully, good quality and loud music playback.
I reckon all modern screens would be fine, but nothing small or large! Just average size.
I have a Motorola One which I believe has a 5.9" screen. Slightly bigger would be fine.
I do my smart-phoning on a budget and will be keeping it a while. I've had the Motorola One a couple of years and I'd keep it another couple but the call quality isn't great and I've heard that strangely (correct me if I'm wrong) that 4G will not handle calls soon, and if your phone isn't 5G then your calls will go through 3G and hence, lose some quality.
Oh - I'm getting on a bit so ease of use could be an issue (unlikely with an Android I know but just don't want any new-fangled complicated tech)
Thank you for helping.
