We know how hard choosing a new handset can be, especially in this ever-evolving mobile world, so we have selected eight noteworthy phones from our Asda range for you to compare.
Samsung Galaxy A20e |STK R45i | Doro 1360 | Doro 6520 | Alcatel U3 | Alcatel 1 | Alcatel 1s | Alcatel 3L
Samsung Galaxy A20e
At the generous price of £169 from Asda Mobile, the Samsung Galaxy A20e is all about the visual beauty. With a 5.8” HD+ edge-to-edge Infinity-V display, you are fully immersed in the quality picture on your screen.
The 13MP and 5MP dual rear camera, and the 8MP front camera, take beautiful pictures in all lighting conditions.
The 3000mAh battery with fast charging technology will be useful for people who can’t always get to a charging port in the day, or don’t have very long before they need to be back out again with their phone in their pocket.
With 32GB of memory and the availability to expand up to a whopping 512GB, the Samsung Galaxy A20e is a device most suitable for people who want a lot of photos, videos and apps.
STK R45i
This early-era Nokia lookalike is the best option if you’re looking for a simple phone without all the excessive features.
At a super low budget price of £10, the delightfully compact STK R45i fits easily in your pocket, a lightweight alternative to the larger and heavier modern smartphones.
The R45i contains all the basic features for everyday mobile use: Bluetooth, Alarm, Torch, Camera, Sound recorder, Hands-free loud speaker for phone calls, FM radio, and the option to expand to 16GB of storage with a Micro SD card.
With 5 days of standby time, you won’t necessarily have to charge your device every day, saving electricity and time.
Doro 1360
For unrivalled ease and accessibility the Doro 1360 is a no-nonsense, straight-forward handset.
Its lightweight design and large buttons make for a stress-free mobile experience. Neatly curved and aesthetically uncomplicated, the Doro 1360 is ideal for someone searching for an easy-to-use, inexpensive phone. And with its 12.5 x 6cm exterior, it’s the perfect pocket-phone.
At £20 from our store, this phone is compatible with simple 2G data technology and has a standby life of up to 10 days.

Doro 6520
If you miss the era of dramatic flip phones, the Doro 6520 is the ideal model for you.
With its 2.8” display screen and 2MP rear camera, the photos are large and clear. And with a generous 128MB of internal storage and the option for 32GB of storage with an SD card, you’ll have plenty of space for your pictures and apps.
The sound quality is just as good, with clear audio for up to 10 hours of call time. With 380 hours of standby on offer, the £57 price tag is a bargain.
Alcatel U3
The first of four Alcatel models we are recommending, the Alcatel U3 is a sturdy and reliable option for £35.
With a 4” display, it’s the perfect size to carry around, and big enough for video calling. With 4GB of internal memory and up to 128GB of expandable memory, the Alcatel U3 is also capable of Wi-Fi hotspot and tethering capabilities.
The phone runs on Android 8.1 Oreo, and has an app locker called Phone Guard already installed which protects your device from viruses. With 450 hours of standby, this mobile won’t have to be charged very frequently.
Alcatel 1
A year before the U3, the Alcatel 1 was released at the end of 2018. With a variety of features on offer, this Alcatel model takes on-screen entertainment to a whole new level.
The 18:9 FullView screen, 5” widescreen display, and 5MP camera make for rich picture quality. So if you’re a photo-fanatic, this phone will satisfy your visual aesthetic.
The Alcatel 1 also boasts the Android 8.0 Go Edition, a speedy QuadCore Processor, 4G data, and Google Assistant - all features which increase the efficiency of your device.
Alcatel 1S
The next model up, the Alcatel 1S has a slightly bigger display at 5.5”, allowing for optimal visual immersion. But what’s more impressive, is the dual 13MP and 2MP rear camera, capturing photos with more sophisticated lighting and illumination.
The Alcatel 1S is all about multitasking. The Octa-Core Processor, combined with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of ROM, means downloading and running apps or videos can be done quicker than on previous models.
Keep your device alive for longer with the 3060mAh battery. With all these new features to protect, the 1S offers extra security with a fingerprint sensor and Face Key recognition.
Alcatel 3L
The 2020 edition of the Alcatel 3L is a powerful piece of kit with one of the best cameras you can get for its price.
For photographers, it has a 48MP triple camera for the highest quality images. The 8MP front camera and 2MP macro camera allow you to zoom in for the finest details, and all three cameras are operated by AI technology that automatically adjusts 22 factors, like lighting and colour saturation, for the best picture.
And while the 3L will let you take photos for hours, due to the long-lasting 4000mAh battery and Octa-Core Processor, its 6.22” HD+ Vast Display means viewing and editing your images has never been easier.
While the phone definitely boasts impressive features, its internal hardware is equally impressive. The 3L has 4GB of RAM and 64 GB of ROM, making it faster and more efficient than its predecessors.
If you’re looking to buy any of these handsets, you can find them in store or online. If you do, you’ll want a SIM to pair with it! There are loads of benefits of Pay As You Go with Asda Mobile, including the cost, flexibility, and freedom.
