    I know it's a vague question but my I phone is giving bit of bother and it's 3 years old.
    Won't be getting another one due to price
    Argos have a few sim free from Motorola
    Any other phoneworth looking at?

    Thanks

    for good value options

    mi a2 lite (big battery)
    mi a2 (better camera)

    honor 9 lite (for NFC if you need it)
    honor 10 lite (newer version also with NFC)

    huawei p smart 2019 also seems a good option (NFC also - honor is made by Huawei). available in shops in Ireland. others online or maybe Argos

    the honor 10 lite and the p smart 2019 are basically very similar except the 10 lite has a higher rez front selfie camera and is always dual sims. not all p smarts are dual sim.

    Nokia definitely worth considering also.
    They sometimes get ignored in recommendations... whilst Xiaomi and Honor/Huawei usually dominate !

    From my own experience Moto smartphones usually offer a solid build.
    However Android updates are quite slow.
    My G5 plus used to receive security updates every quarter, although monthly would have been preferable.

    Check prices on Amazon UK DE etc

    motorola G5 6 etc tend to use lower-end cpus in a lot of models that's why I think xiaomi and honor are better value.

    the moto series were the only decent line of budget phones a couple of years ago but not anymore.

    The Moto plus versions get better mid range chipsets though.
    G5 Plus - Snapdragon 625
    G6 Plus - Snapdragon 630
    G7 Plus - Snapdragon 636

    yes but those plus phones are a good bit more expensive than the Xiaomis and Huawei/ Honors with similarly powered chips.

    e.g. G7 Plus - about 300 euro

    Honor / Xiaomi - 200 euro.

    I was looking at a G7 plus for my partner. I was going to pull the trigger on it this week. 300 is the absolute max she wants to spend. Is there another android that would have a better all around camera and similar or better specs? Preferably with B20 support. Cheers guys.

    Yes agreed they can be cheaper all right.
    Moto G6 Plus is about €220 right now (as G7 release).
    You'll find the Motos drop in price nicely after several months though. Worth a camelx3 price watch to bag one cheaper from Amazon.

    seems a decent phone.

    alternatives

    pocophone f1 - more powerful and bigger battery. no nfc if that is needed. g7 plus maybe has a better camera
    (buy from eglobal or honorbuy or here)
