I usually get another one when one of my grandchildren busts theirs and it isn't near their birthday or Christmas. They get my old one.

I go with the Samsung A5n series which is the top end of their cheaper range. I have an A55. That's about a couple of years old. Current model is A57. They bump the last digit each time they release a new one. A 3 year old phone should still be fine imo.

A quick question if I may.    
When  I google a business,  often a list comes up and at the end it says -  'Hide sponsored results.'

What are 'sponsored'  businesses please?

Can you remember roughly when you bought your present mobile?
How long do you hope it will last before you need to replace it?

Lastly,  how do you know when it needs replacing -  unless it has completely conked out of course.

I think my present Samsung is about 3 years old.   Do others consider that's old,  or still young-ish?

I was shocked to see some new phones are over £1,000 now!!   People must have more money than sense to pay that.

Douglas Murray for me, but I also think Nigel Farage is a good speaker, no notes and no auto cue

Most modern phones get backed up automatically to the cloud. With any luck using the same account on a new phone will get them all recovered. Assuming she knows the account password of course

Michael,  wouldn't it be better to wear a long sleeve cardigan or jumper if your arms are cold?
Look after yourself, won't you.

But as he set out for a beer
Some wolf whistles came loud and clear
He gave them a smile
And they ran a mile
Fast as they could in fear.


Some youngsters were sat altogether
And one tickled his leg with a feather
It made the man jump
So he gave the lad a thump
