New android phone

tgif — Tue, 04 Nov 2025 02:06:13 GMT

I'm looking for a new android phone, real basic - phone, text, alarm clock, browser, touchscreen, camera, GPS, SD slot, etc., decent battery lifespan (5 days would be nice), and not too large (6x3 inches max).

Thought I'd reach out to the community to see what's best.

hi @tgif

i don't think any android phone with 5 days battery life unless you are talking about those old style flip phone with Android OS

i would check the Samsung A16 or the simple Moto G phone

if budget allows, the Samsung A36 or A56 are both good and solid phones

Hello.

Let's start with SUPER basic.

TCL Flip - Basic flip phone

TCL 502 - I can confirm this works on pm

Both of those are $100

If you want to spend a bit more with a much better phone...

Motorola Moto G Power 5G

That one is around $249

Hope these give you something to start with.
I do however, recommend, if you can get the IMEI number before you buy, you can confirm if it will work with pm.

EDIT: You didn't mention if you're already with pm or not. Just in case you're not, here are places to pick up a sim card.... just in case.

HERE you will find a link to local Telus stores that carry pm sim cards.

HERE you will find a link to Amazon to purchase a sim card for $4.99

HERE you will find a link to Mobileklinik where they carry pm sim cards as well.
