Redmi 6A at £99
My reasonably top of the line at the time LG phone has turned out to be one irritation after another. It does most things OK, and nothing really well.
If a low end Xiaomi will handle email, texting, some GPS stuff, and play podcasts, and can make phone calls and take adequate pictures, I'll be first in line. I just don't believe that any phone is worth $1000.
