Hello Community:

I need your advice on cellphones that will run on Public Mobile network. My budget is $200. I don't mind using good quality used phones/refurbished phones. I am looking for:

 

OS: Android 7+

RAM: 2GB

ROM: 16GB

Rear Camera: 8+

 

Any suggestion. Thanks.

On the Facebook Marketplace, there are tons of people always selling all kinds of phones. I think the Samsung A line would suit your needs well (A5 or A8); they are the budget-friendly options but still both have very good specs.

I just bought a used reconditioned Moto G5 at Factory Direct for $170. Turns out it may never been used, orginal charger, box and small manual. Very nice phone which seems to rate highly.

@mohdshh05 Costco.ca sell a Moto G6 Play for $205, meet your specs (Android 8, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage, 13MP rear camera):  https://www.costco.ca/Motorola-Moto-G6-Play-Unlocked-Smartphone.product.100462556.html.  Might be slightly cheaper in store.

Hey mohdshh05,

 

Whatever phone you choose to go with make sure it is unlocked and functional before you buy.

 

Good luck with your search!

@mohdshh05 , I suggest giving the Xiaomi line a look.  The note 6 pro or mi a2 are good here. They are a little above your print point but not too much.  They are available on AliExpress.  Amazon also sells Xiaomi points but ar higher price.  You can use Amazon to assess the models that are compatible for use in Canada and decide whether you are willing to save a bit to buy from AliExpress which will have longer shipping times.  

 

For used, I suggest giving red flag deals buy sell trade forum a look.  I don't recommend Kijiji because it's quite the wild wild west.  Red flag deals sales transactions are rated by the buyer and seller.  You can review the reputation of the sellers.
