Hey, could anyone recommend a good smartphone? I'm in the market for one

I have a couple of preferences. I don’t need a million features on it. I want to spend around a $125-$150, I need a keypad that is larger than normal because I have trouble reading small print or numbers.

Simple. I need a phone that is simple to operate. Trying to use my current phone each day is like trying to solving a Rubik’s Cube each morning. I need simple.

It has to be easy to figure out how to do everything on it.

And if you have a recommendation, where can I buy it?

Here you go @77nick77

Hope this helps.

Sorry, I should have added that I’ve never shopped for one. I’ve never had one except my current crappy phone so your link @anon57786250 will certainly help but it seems there’s too many choices. I have researched it myself before but I got overwhelmed at so many choices.

I have a Samsung s8 included in my plan. Otherwise I’d never be able to afford it. I’m not sure how it works where you are.

Hmm …

What do you use the most? calling, texting, browsing the web, playing games, etc.

What provider are you with?

Mostly calling. But my sisters want me to learn to text. My state of California gave me a free Android phone and free monthly service.

I hate to be ungrateful but my phone is crappy, and it causes me stress every day because the method for doing the simplest things on my phone changes every one or two weeks. It’s impossible to get comfortable using it because the screens I need never seem to work the same way twice. I’m exaggerating but it’s almost true.

Can you call your provider and ask them for details? Usually, phones are free when you set up a yearly contract.

That’s how it works here in Canada, dont know about the US.

I was told that the blu phones are pretty good and Amazon sells them pretty cheap. They say even the camera isn’t bad. I’ll see if I can find one to show you

I think “one plus 1+” could be a good choice for you. My youngest sister has it. She said it was super. I have an OPPO, which is usually a little bit dearer than 1+. Mine is OPPO A59m, which was around $250 three years ago. OPPO is also a good brand.

Excellent`` @everhopeful. Thanks.
