    Hi all, I have a 2 month old Huawei P20 lite. Great phone with great display, sound and camera. The only drawback, and its a huge one for me, is that I've never had a phone as delicate as this one before. Fell out of my pocket while I was kneeling and smashed the screen. Go a new screen, and fell of the arm of the chair onto a magazine rack and smashed the back of it. I've had enough. I'm looking for recommendations for a new one. It must have
    A. good/great camera
    B. Good sound
    C. Relative decent amount of RAM
    D. SIM FREE
    E. Fairly robust

    Preferably 4G

    TIA

    Not being funny, but would you consider getting a protective cover/case?

    Is the phone still usable and working?

    Phone still working, but I don't like the cases. I find them clumsy and because I'm a tradesman, I need to be able to answer one handed. Never had a problem with any other phone I had Re fragility.

    An otterbox back and a screen protector and you can still use it with one hand.

    The back casing looks interesting. The screen protector ( have one on now since getting the screen replaced ) makes the screen lose its sensitivity I find . Thanks you for the suggestion. the otterbox one looks very appealing.

    Anyone with the Otto Reno Z mobile? Was recommended to me but never heard of them.
    I've found out that they're part of the company that own Oneplus.
    Would appreciate any info

    A Samsung. They are good relatively tough phones. Well made and put together too.
    However OP if you want something tougher how about a Catapiller phone? They do touchscreen phones too as well as candy style button phones. I had one for a while. Only for water got in where the charge cable would plug in because the protective rubber there broke I would probably still have it working.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    I'm sure the OP has made their choice in the nearly 19 months since asking for advice...

    Does anyone know whether Apple 7 is more preferable to Apple SE re battery life, general use, sound etc.
    Which is more recommendable?
