1409854 2015-10-14 03:41:00 I am looking for a smart phone for my daughter .
Her Samsung Galaxy Mini just died after 10 months of use. I don't think we kept the receipt because we got it in a HN sale really cheap.
I have swapped out the battery with a known working battery, and also tried a factory hard start - defaulting all to original.

Anyway, with her Samsung dying so fast, and my work Samsung dying after only a few months of use recently, and because there is a budget limit, I am kind of wanting to avoid another Samsung for her.

I am looking for something resonably cheap, runs Android, reliable (I know cheap and reliable are contrasts but hopefully there is something available).

Any recommendations please?

1409856 2015-10-14 04:46:00 Samsung NZ have a really decent warranty service. Of course you'd need to provide proof of purchase, but all that takes is a call to HN, and be insistent on getting the info required. Greg (193)

Is it worth pursuing?

Yep. CGA. Actually most phones these days have a 24 month warranty.

Thanks for that
