Looking for a solid Android based phone for the wife, looking around the $400 mark - any personal recommendations (as in youve used it) ?

 

Prefer Samsung or Oppo.

 

She uses 2D so must not be network locked :)

with black Friday/cyber Monday coming, might be worth a wait for a few weeks to see what deals there are.

Samsung A range or Vodafone Smart (assuming they can be unlocked) would be good places to start.

Picked up an A34 for $500 from Noel leemings over the long weekend recently.
Think I saw the a24 for around $400 at the same time.


So either of those might be a possibility in or near the Black Friday deals

Forgot that I get good discount at Noel Leeming, which has opened up a few other options.... but yeah, will look closer at the Samsung A range - cheers :)

Oppo A78 4G. I picked one up over the last sale for $400.  Fantastic phone so far.  The A78 5G isnt as good from what I can see and a little cheaper - worse screen, less RAM and a big notch for the front camera).

I have a Samsung A52 and a M51.  Both are good phones. The M51 has a tank of a battery.  My recollection is that I paid around 400 for it on sale.

 

Just be aware that neither is wireless chargeable.
