 Bought a good £200 phone recently? - Manatee
I offered her my Poco X3 Pro but she says it's too big and heavy. Shame because then I would have had a Pixel 7a :)

I'll suggest the Moto G84. Not much smaller than the Poco but somewhat lighter and I think thinner. Lots of space and plenty of grunt for the money. And it comes in a nice magenta colour.

She's perfectly free to find her own of course and spend what she wants, but I can't escape responsibility for its performance so I feel free to influence. I'd prefer she doesn't go Apple because their intuitiveness doesn't match my intuition. It took me half an hour to figure out the remote for the Apple TV box, I didn't know it had a track pad.

She really wants a phone no bigger than the one she has which is a 6" display. In a nutshell, they don't make 'em like that any more, at least not with decent storage and speed.

She really likes my old Huawei P9 from 2016 which has 5.2" screen but that's stuck on Android 7 and I'm not even going to try and make that work - AFAIK Huawei are still getting not support from Google. It was a good phone when I got it.

Thanks for all the suggestions and experiences.
