Today there's probably newer options like this worth considering, maybe have a look at recent youtube reviews on cheap Chinese phones? Brands like Umidigi, Cubot, Xiaomi etc are worth a look. Just make sure that it is available through Amazon or similar where you know returns are not an issue (in case you get a dud) and you've got a winner.

I'm just about to replace mine, and Kai is right, have a look at some of the Chinese ones.
Xiaomi Redmi 6 gets some good reviews and is about £114
I was looking at this until Kai posted up his option!

If you want a known brand, I was also looking at a Samsung J6, my wife and daughter have the J5, seems well built

The Honor 9 also gets good reviews

I'm not going for anything below 32gb storage, I'd prefer 64GB even with add on storage, as these days 16gb isn't enough
