I bought a 6a a few months ago for £399 before the 7-series was launched with the price reduction that you can gain from.
What else is there to buy?
A few Chinese phones with limited Android updates and time limited security updates.
Do any of them have a UK-based service centre?
There might be a Samsung.
What do you use a mobile for?
I track activities, listen to podcasts, take a few pictures, check emails and read a few websites everyday. The 6a does all this adequately. GPS acquisition is sometimes a little flaky. Battery life routinely gets me through a full day.
A micro sd card slot would be useful.
I just have to transfer photos to a laptop.
If this 6a only lasts for 2 years, I reckon I get £4-worth of value out of it per week.
