I have two identical phones and it's doing my head in
-
So, why? Well, I bought a new phone from (whisper it) Amazon back in December. It's a Nokia G20, and it's great. But, after I'd had it for a few days it wouldn't power up one morning so I sent it back for repair. (Time passes, no sign of it being returned to me, working or otherwise.) So, tl;dr; Amazon gave me another one. (Time passes, and meanwhile I learn that all G20's sometimes do this and will only come back on if you hold down the power button for like 3 days. Conclusion: old phone was working fine all along. Hey-ho.) And then, nearly FIVE MONTHS after I sent it back, guess what? Yep, here it is, back from the great beyond. Bizarre. So now I have two (even down to them having identical cases - more fool me), and of course I'm *always* picking up the wrong one. First world problem. But we plan to give one to my mother-in-law so that she can watch the tennis, so it's an ill wind etc. Result. And thanks to all for putting up with bipolar me. I'll try to keep a lid on things when times are bad.

Not sure if that's a serious question, but yes, if it's man enough for what you want to use it for it's excellent. [Specs](https://www.gsmarena.com/nokia\_g20-10841.php) are modest but it does everything I want, the battery lasts for 2-3 days, and it has what, for me, is a must-have, to whit a micro SD card slot. If you direct all your photos and vids there, 64 GB of internal storage goes a long way. 'Amazon Basics' cards seem to work well. Avoid the cheapies. Android 11, two years of updates (IIRC), £130 odd all-in, what's not to like? I have no affiliations to disclose. Question: how do you get that clickety thing in your post?
