Bought a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro yesterday.
Must say it seems excellent value and fully featured after using Samsungs for years.

its just conked out, screen black even though I can hear it buzzing and farting etc, nothing showing on screen, tried forcing restart half a dozen times with ten second button hold but it wont restart. need new smartphone, reccomendations, less than £100 considering it'll get dropped four times a day

Same model i got replaced and lucky was in warranty and working much better than my previous one.
But you need to have a phone case for protection and my Blackview was the same size.

its been in a 360 degree hard case since day one, the screen has never felt the touch of a human hand.
Just been on YT and it says to put it on charge for 5 minutes and see if it will reboot, some crash may have drained the battery, it's been on charge for half hour so will try this now. it did come back on for a split second, twice in fact when it first went off so im hopeful the screen hasn't fried

I just got the global version of the Poco F5 pro delivered from aliexpress. Saved a bit doing it this way.

No mobiles in the UK are locked to carrier, everything is now sim free.

Does that include contract deals where the phone is included. I have been on a sim only contract for a few years.

My new contract with virgin is 20Euro a month on a rolling month to month

Update.
Went to do some jet washing for a chap I regularly work for, told him about my screen woes.
He went in and came out with a brand new boxed Samsung galaxy, he said these go for £250 on amazon, you can have it for a ton.
Put my sim in and away we go.
Just checked Google and it's the Enterprise Edition, over £400 wingwangs
