Phone Recommendation

Frogdog

Ok so I'm looking for a phone recommendation, and as per the sticky, here's the vital info required to the questions:

What features are important to you in a phone? (i.e. camera, gps, FM radio, Stereo Bluetooth) - FM radio is a must, after that, everything else is not too important to me. I currently have a Sony Xperia Z3 that's on it's last legs. I'm seeing hardly any smartphones out at the moment with an FM radio. Now I have seen articles online saying all phones have an FM radio, and that they're usually removed/blocked or whatever from working by the manufacturer. That's no good to me. And I don't want to have to download some radio app either. Just a good old plain FM radio on my phone please.

Form factor - i.e. touchscreen, slider, flip phone, etc. - Touchscreen Android smartphone. No iPhones please - been there before and won't go back. As for Windows, I'd rather not as I haven't used them before, I'm comfortable with Android and I have a bit of "brand loyalty" to them now.

Internet - is 3G/mobile internet important, or WiFi/EDGE - Not important, no preference. Don't think it matters much anyway.

Operator - have you an operator preference - No preference, although as below I'm currently with Virgin Media as I like their cheap 30 day contract option. Would prefer to stay with them if possible.

Pre-pay/Bill-pay/SIM-Free - have you a preference for either - Bill-pay preferably, but willing to listen if there are other alternatives. To be honest, the cheaper the better.

Price range - As cheap as possible. I'm currently on Virgin Media's €25 a month all-in 30 day contract. Would like to keep that same contract if possible.

Earbuds/Speaker - Are these a deal breaker if included or not? - No, I have my own already.


Thanks for your help!

Correct

Those questions are very dated.

Very. I wasn't sure if I was using the correct template or if there was a more up-to-date sticky.
