My Mom has had great use out of her old Lumia 430 but it is really is long in the tooth and I would rather she uses an Android device as I am far more familiar with that OS than Windows.
She just uses the phone for browsing, email, whatsapp and Facebook. So really don't need lots of RAM.
She likes the 4" screen size but she is well into her 80's and I am sure she would see a 5" screen much easier.
The phone needs to unlocked as she uses GSM in another country.
I am reluctant to get a phone that's too old as she will start running into battery issues.
I have looked at Swappa and see there are some unused Galaxy S5's for about $190.
What else should I be looking at that may cost less than $190??
Thanks.

Hello, how are you? in first place i would like to explain that my english is not pretty good, so... having said this.
I'm gonna buy a smartphone, my priority is the sound with headphones and secondly the camera (both as photos and videos). I don't care at all about the speakers sound, i mean, nothing at all.
My favorites are:
HTC 10 (this is i like the most i think, because the botons and another reasons)
LG V20 (this would be my second, something that i don't like about this is that the 3,5mm jack is in the bottom part, i mean, it's not irritating, but it's a little annoying)
LG G6 (according to web info, the version that is worth is the Korean version, is it like that? and what do you think about the normal version?)
What do you think. The htc has good sound comparing to the others phones? if not, do you think is worth to buying it being that is the phone that i like the most? i'm quite convinced about buying the HTC, but i prefer to take out the doubt.
I hope you can help me, and from now, thanks

Lg g6 = htc 10
As I can see this is the cross-post of which I have seen at the CNET forums. However, HTC 10 is now upgradable to latest Android Oreo and is much better in terms of performance, camera and as well as in sound. Sometimes Specs don't show you the reality, In general, loafs of factors depends on the phone so that It can deliver top-notch service. If the battle is among these three phones, if you look at the specs then HTC 10 is an eye candy and the boss for what it offers. Lg may be the king for the stuff like Televisions, DSLR camera and so on, but HTC is mainly about cell phones and that's also the reason why it won't con you out of money.
Hello,
So i been a nexus 5 user till the phone worked and the screen broke.
worked well for 3-4 years.
Then i shifted to Redmi note 4 [cause i didn't have the budget to get a better phone]
Now im stuck between two phones since these two phones are easy to use in one hand i cant see of any other phones in the same price range
Nokia 8 is costing 29k[450$]
Samsung s7 25k [400$]
I have tried the oneplus 5t it seemed good but i didn't like the camera and its not easy to use in one hand for me. Yes pixel is a great choice but the card i am gonna be using to purchase these two phones isn't supporting the pixel 1 and pixel 2 is out of range.
So basically i am STUCK with these TWO phones only.
My main focus will be manual camera mode
Since both the phones have a decent screen and good battery im ok with that
not much of an audio person.
The problem is nokia 8 seems to be great and i like the camera too but the problem is since its HMD im not sure if the phone will be that durable, i mean the nokia 6 was a nightmare my friend had it and it would overheat and wouldn't function well.
i plan to use my phone for quite sometime 2years and as to nokia, samsung seems to be more reliable.
the problem with samsung is its an old processor [820] vs 835 kinda.
wont the samsung slowdown after a year or so?
Thus im stuck here.
i dont plan on flashing stock roms and stuff.
im just worried about nokias reliability.
Please advice.

Great. thanks
Country: Serbia/Balkan
Carrier: Unlocked / mts
Price: Off, 300e limit
Size Preference: No more then 5,2'.
What will it be used for: Camera, light usage.
Preferred brands: Don't care as long they update.
Other: Camera better or in range with Huawei p9
Hello,
I will sell my P9 soon, and i will have around 300e to get a new phone. Now, P9 is 2016 flagship, and in camera range (most important for me, because i don't have other camera equipment) closest phones are S7 and 6S.. also price is around 250e ish. Problem is that both (all 3 to be exact) phones are near or damn near eol. That makes me think should i get one of them and then swtich up in maybe 6 months or pick some decent midrange from 2017/2018 and have future proof. As for iOS vs Android i don't really care. Never used iOS tho, that might be fun..and i ususaly set Android stock and minimal as possible. Only social media i use is Instagram and most of my battery went on either music, or browsing reddit. In camera deparment features are not so needed, also i don't do night photos or videos. So still photos and maybe OIS would be nice.

Thank you for this, i posted and will delete this one.!
I have a really weird question to put to all of you, and it has to do with selecting some phone hardware. Basically, my mother-in-law is buying a new phone, but because of a condition in her hands she can't use a touch-screen, nor small hardware keys (She's had phones like that before and they didn't work for her) .
So I am looking for a phone that has:
-No Touch screen
-Hardware numeric keyboard with buttons no smaller than 1.4 cm square
-GSM 3G HSDPA 850 MHz frequency.
-Standard USB charger
I'd also like something rugid and cheap ( I have a philosophical problem with paying extra to have a feature removed). There are a lot of phones like this that where sold in the 90s but aren't on sale any more. I understand that nokia are releasing a new version of the banana phone, but that's outside her price bracket and the keys are too small, I think. I don't mind having to buy online from asia.
Hope you can all, help and thanks in advance.
-Royce

Hello everyone! I am very new to Android! Recently bought the Mate 10, and I am absolutely in love with Android for the most part. Now I have been thinking about getting a second phone, more so a backup and for my secondary number. Wont see much if any use.
Now I would really prefer to stick to android, have some old Nokia Symbian based phones which are on their last legs and pretty much useless. Anyway, any suggestions would be nice. I dont want to spend much maybe $50-$100 to grab something used??
Thought about the LG V20, Oukitel K10000 (which has a huge 10,000mah batery and priced quite low), not looking for an apple product, not sure but some suggestions would be nice.
