Strange compendium
It's a strange compendium, but okay for the price.

Great upgrade for me - but niggles of course
The new phone (Samsung Galaxy A33) was quite affordable (£200) and so far seems to have all the qualities I was seeking from a "budget" class phone, and more besides. I got it to replace my rather old Moto G6 Play which had a broken screen (not economically repairable), its battery life had dwindled away, its touch screen had become erratic and insensitive and the camera lens was unclear. In particular the A33 has a stellar battery life, bright screen, responsive touch screen and largely familiar layout. It seems to perform well and offers many software features and apps which I didn't have before, some of which are useful.
Some niggles and annoyances of course, some of which apply to most technology. The port at the bottom for charging and communication is USB-C whereas my chargers and power packs all use micro USB. I bought a tiny adapter but it's easy to lose and I don't want to superglue it to the port as it sticks out a bit. Another ergonomic niggle which probably applies to all phones. The two physical buttons on the side are the same black colour as the casing and so virtually invisible, and they are not easy to detect in a tactile way either. I may apply some Tippex if it gets too annoying. Like all phones the keyboard is about the size of just two keys on a laptop keyboard and so is really inefficient to use, but that's the trade-off for portability. I haven't tried voice input yet. The bluetooth connects to my hearing aids much more effectively and reliably than the old phone. The newer version of Android takes a bit of getting used to but it's reasonably familiar. As in all phones the battery isn't interchangeable so it had built-in obsolescence and is not environmentally responsible - something governments ought to criminalise. There is no manual supplied - you have to download it and print it (160 pages) yourself which is annoying. But all in all a great upgrade.
