• Kid B (18 yo) broke his phone the other day - fair play to him, he went out and got the screen replaced and paid for it himself, but it hasn't worked and the phone now turns itself off constantly.

    So I want to get him something decent, refurb or SH, for about £200-250.

    Samsung S21 seem plentiful and in budget. I know nothing about Samsung phones - is that a decent option? Anything else spring to mind?

  • Samsung S21

    I like Samsung, but I've never been able to persuade myself that S models are worth the extra. At 18, I'd tell him to make his own decision on the basis that you'll contribute £250 towards it, then it's up to him whether he wants to add his own funds to get something tarty or get a more modest phone and a round of drinks.
