Be Excellent To Each Other

Anyone have a smartphone they no longer want, before I delve into the ebay hellhole?
Donna's work phone has shit the bed, so she needs a replacement.

The problem with a second hand phone these days is that the battery life is almost certainly going to be fucked. Depending what actual functionality she needs in a work phone you might be better off just getting a new but cheap Android handset so at least is lasts?

A cheap second-hand phone in decent condition plus a new battery could still be significantly cheaper than a new midrange phone. More faff though, certainly.

I was assuming that anything from even the last few years wouldn't have a user-replaceable battery, though I didn't look to see how true that was admittedly. Certainly Samsung and the like haven't given that option for a good long while; my S8 doesn't have it and that was released in April 2017.

Side-note: previously I'd have been scandalised by the idea of owning a phone for even a year, never mind buying something near the end of it's cycle and keeping it for over two years. I wonder if I've personally stopped giving as much of a shit or if phone tech now improves in such small jumps that it's just not as compelling as before? Or, why not both, I suppose.

Yeah, that’s why I said more faff as you’d have to get it replaced.

Battery life isn't too much of a worry as she can leave it plugged in for the most part.

I got my work phone form CEX as you get a 2 year warranty.. They deliver free, i think

We've also had no issues with picking up 'as new' type phones from Music Magpie again with some warranty and basically for around the same prices you see on Ebay with a lot less hassle

This is less RMD and more give me your old phone.

Exactly, but not give, sell works too.
