I've started recently to check the current deals and so far I'm not yet convinced. I'm ok with refurbs if proper and with warranty but wanted to try to tighten the budget. £90 for a 6gb ram/128gb for more future proofness seems quite unrealistic I know, but sometimes you got lucky if you click fast..I might go for a £50 4gb ram/64gb as well but I would like to settle my kidz for at least 3 years with no much fuss..
So please if anyone could help me find those deals whenever they might become available, I'd be deeply grateful.","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51314567","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"C0mm0d0re_K1d"},"datePublished":"2023-10-31T03:21:57.000Z","text":"It's None of my business really.

Why would a 9 year old or younger need a powerful smartphone. Children are supposed to be 13 to sign up to anti social media! Do you really want to start exposing and subjecting them to the online onslaught, possible addiction and dangers so young."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51309026","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"one_eight_seven"},"datePublished":"2023-10-30T14:05:49.000Z","text":"Go on eBay and use your requirements to filter out phones to see what’s available."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51309839","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"bozo007"},"datePublished":"2023-10-30T15:39:51.000Z","text":"Best option is to look at the mid range phones from 3 years ago.

I think I hit your higher spec for £60 last year (with a small crack on the side of the screen) and your lower spec for £13 (another small crack in one corner). I'm writing this message on the latter."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51325885","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"italondonistaavataurino"},"datePublished":"2023-11-01T11:58:01.000Z","text":"Guys I know my requirements are tight price-wise and probably will have to spend a bit more, but refurbished or not, I want at least 12 month warranty for peace of mind somehow.
